Telling Stories Lyrics - Telling Stories - Tracy Chapman

There is fiction in the space between 

The lines on your page of memories 

Write it down but it doesn't mean 

You're not just telling stories 

There is fiction in the space between 

You and reality 

You will do and say anything 

To make your everyday life seem less mundane 

There is fiction in the space between 

You and me 

There's a science fiction in the space between 

You and me 

A fabrication of a grand scheme 

Where I am the scary monster 

I eat the city and as I leave the scene 

In my spaceship I am laughing 

In your remembrance of your bad dream 

There's no one but you standing 

Leave the pity and the blame 

For the ones who do not speak 

You write the words to get respect and compassion 

And for posterity 

You write the words and make believe 

There is truth in the space between 

There is fiction in the space between 

You and everybody 

Give us all what we need 

Give us one more sad sordid story 

But in the fiction of the space between 

Sometimes a lie is the best thing 

Sometimes a lie is the best thing
