Shades of red, eyes of green
See’s black n’ white and there’s no in between
Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies
Still you keep thinking that it’s all alibis
And it’s hard to discover
You’re like any other jealous lover
And you say I’m afraid
That you’re making no mistake,
You say you’re sorry
For tellin’ stories
That you know I believe are true
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do
You’ve taken my life, so take my soul
That’s what you said but who are we to know
I want to be with you
Long as you want me to
But don’t move away
Ain’t that what you said? Ain’t that what you said? Ain’t that what you said?
Liar, Liar, Liar
You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man’s floor.
You take such care to keep that girl’s feet clean
Like she’s some kind of figurine
The world’s so far below her it’s not her scene
And so she uses you to stand between
She walks all over you
You know she can, she knows she can
You’re a carpet man, you’re a carpet man
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It’s down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She’s under my thumb
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you’ll never find me
I will turn your flesh to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master
Ohhh, you’ll be wrapped around my finger
Devil with a blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with a blue dress on!
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you from behind
Pleased to meet you, Hope you guess my name
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
The wizard and the demon had a battle royale,
The demon almost killed him with an evil kapow.
But then he broke his tooth, and thus the demon said Ow.
Cause it’s the Pick of Destiny child,
you know we will be rockin’ cause it’s fuckin’ insane.
Right wing dicks in their boiler suits
Picking out who to annihilate.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
If you can’t stop
Smile as you go under.
Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be.
He got friendly, holding my hand / While she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen/ Well, she was good, you know what I mean
You see it your way, I see it mine.
But we both see it slipping away.
Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin’ by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, i lost you to the summer wind
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on baby
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she’s like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - aah
