Lie To Me

David Byrne

It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream

And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem

Making up stories that you know aren't true

But you know it's all right 'cause I know it too



Who is the lady with the sno-cone eyes?

Who has the candy with the soft insides?

Talk show religion

And soap opera love

Whatever happened to

Heavens above?



Well you can lie to me

And I imagine you do

If nothin's right

What's wrong?

That's what I like about you

That's what I like about you



Birds are flying from east to west

Dogs are running a political race

Twinkle Twinkle

Little Star

How I wonder

Who you are...



Well you can lie to me

And I imagine you do

If nothin's right

What's wrong?

That's what I like about you

That's what I like about you



It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream

And you know I don't care if things are not what they seem

I wanna be happy, I can't stand the pain

I want to believe, so tell me again



I'm like a chicken without a head

I'd like to fly, but I walk instead

Emotional junkies

How blind we must be

I'm just a fool for your

Las Vegas tears...



Well you can lie to me

And I imagine you do

If nothin's right

What's wrong?

That's what I like about you

That's what I like about you
