Album version. Complements 'Admission' - again about using cultural situations and ideas to shut people out
lyrics
Oh Rachel,
we could never be you - going round and round and round and round
on a carousel
with a bluebird on your shoulder
And that bluebird on your shoulder - he lies
he lies
he lies
Did you see me trip on that hippo just now?
and whoever said domesticity was bliss, well they lied
they lied
they lied
Being plastic's not all it's cracked up to be
- give Tom Hanks a yank on his string and you'll see what I mean
Better yet paint a face on a beach ball and hope for the best
or take a rifle to a crowded shopping mall and aim for the head
cos the head always lies
the head lies
Head/heart, mind/soul, body/spirit
the greatest thing called deceit is all of these binary divisions
- they're lies
invented by some Athenians
let's all reinvent ourselves again
without lies
without lies
