Lies

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1995

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some lie about who they love

Some lie about the truth

Some lie to save their lives

Some lie about their youth

 

 

Some lie about age and beauty

The conquest of sex

Most lie about the night before

A woman lies for a party dress

 

 

I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you

 

 

And we lie, lie, lie on a streetcar named desire

Oh we lie, lie, lie for that sweet bird of youth

I could be great like Tennessee Williams

If I could only hear something that sounds like the truth

 

 

Some lie in the face of death

Some lie about their fame

Some kneel and lie to God

Some lie about their name

 

 

Some lie in words and speeches

With every living breath

The young lie with their guitars

The old lie for a little respect

 

 

I've lied to lie with danger

I've lied for a drug or two

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you

 

 

I've lied for a stolen moment

I've lied for one more clue

I've lied about most everything

But I never lied to you.
