He burnt down the house one night

He had a loaded sixpack gun

He said that jesus christ was just like a cop

You know you never know when they'll come

She said every day above ground

Was another dream come true

He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night

But I'm not in love with you



And I never got serious

Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back



On the lie



He said man you want to be Elvis

I said I ain't dying face down

He said you've got to die facing up in the world

Cause there's too many holes around

He asked what was wrong with me

He said I looked like a hollywood girl

I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man

Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world



And I never got serious

Til everything went black

And I ain't so curious

That I'm ever going back



On the lie
