verse 1
. Some lie about who they love
. Some lie about the truth
. Some lie to save their lives
. Some lie about their youth
verse 2
. Some lie about age and beauty
. The conquest of sex
. Most lie about the night before
A woman lies for a party dress
Pre-Chorus
. 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 somethin' that sounds like the truth
verse 3
. Some lie in the face of death
. Some lie about their fame
. Some kneel and lie to God
. Some lie about their name
verse 4
. Some lie in words and speeches
. With every living breath
. The young lie with their guitars
. The old lie for a little respect
Pre-Chorus
. 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
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 somethin' that sounds like the
Bridge
truth
Pre-Chorus
. 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 somethin' that sounds like the truth
