Love The Lie Lyrics - Li(f)e - Sage Francis

You gotta love the lie 

You gotta love the lie 

Love, life, love, god, girls and lies 

I can't hear through those veneers 

But you keep speaking with those pearly whites 

Love the life that you live if it gives love back 

And we gotta stay together for the kids 

If you want to disappear don't announce it 

Vanish in thin air and bounce, quick 

Fix the cowlick, slick your hair back 

Ride the rim bare back, you stared at 

Lady Godiva might have been an exhibitionist 

I'm not here to judge voyeuristic fetishes 

If nobody looked, it's a closed book 

You could put your hang ups on a coat hook 

I'm from a puritanical land where they burn witches 

I'm the result of a welfare running up your sickness 

Joy never came, Jesus never helped 

We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt 

If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself 

I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself with 

Love, life, love, god, girls and lies 

I can't hear through those veneers 

But you keep speaking through those pearly whites 

No legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch 

No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself 

[Incomprehensible] for the parents medicine is on the shelf 

Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it melts 

Metal wouldn't survive, plastic is cheaper 

Ran into the fire, she asked me to leave her 

I did what I could with the wood and the flammables 

Stood with the good little animals, ran with the bulls 

Soot on my hands that were full 

Put the good book on the mantle 

Burn, baby, burn, you could serve as a candle 

Last thing I heard was her on the piano 

Last thing I saw was her being herself 

By beating herself, to see if it could help 

If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself 

I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself with 

Love, life, love, god, girls and lies 

I can't hear through those veneers 

But you keep speaking through those pearly whites 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

The killer never came, Jesus never helped 

We were all to blame, god beat us with a belt 

If I heard your name, I'd retreat into myself 

I won't hurt your name, I'll keep it to myself 

No legacy to claim, no enemies to squelch 

No chemical imbalance that could remedy itself 

[Incomprehensible] for the parents medicine is on the shelf 

Put the trophy in the spotlight, watch as it melts with love 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie 

Love the lie
