It's A Wonderful Lie Lyrics - Suicaine Gratifaction - Paul Westerberg

Get up from a dream and I look for rain 

Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain 

How am I feelin', better I suppose 

How am I lookin', I don't want the truth 

What am I doin', I ain't in my youth 

I'm past my prime or was that just a pose 

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those 

I've been accused of never opening up 

You get too close, then I keep my mouth shut 

Gonna run to the wind where the big bad city blows 

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those 

It's a wonderful lie, by on those 

Now you can dress to the eights, you can dress to maim 

They make you feel great, this fortune and fame 

Wearing too much makeup, not near enough clothes 

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those 

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by
