Lyrical Lies Songtext

von Cute Is What We Aim For

An old man gave me a tip he said
Don't waste your time with politics he said
Just chase skirts instead
And life is too short, and your almost dead he said
I met a woman once, gave her my best shot
But never did I talk (and talk and talk)
If I had her back I'd be real as my age
I so don't blame them, I wouldn't do the same
But I can blame them, I'd sing her this

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn't fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

And I think what I just wrote is going over my head
I'm stealing lines from myself
And what I said was never said
It's just a lyrical lie
Made up in my mind

You want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn't fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

You're moving but not aware
Your're drowsy without a care
Except keeping your whites behind your lids
And your lids are your best canvas
I can only imagine what your painting (what your painting)
And your body on my mattress is proof
And your makeup on my pillow is proof
But do you think I'm telling you the truth

It's just a lyrical lie
Made up in my mind

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn't fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn't fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip
