Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt  
Lies, lie in every step you walk  
Lies, whispered sweetly in my ear  
Lies, how do I get out of here  
Why, why you have to be so cruel  
Lies, lies, lies, I ain’t such a fool

You think that you’re such a smart girl  
And I’ll believe what you say  
But who do you think you are, girl  
To lead me on this way hey  
Lies, lies  
I can’t believe a word you say  
Lies, lies  
Are gonna make you sad someday  
Some day you’re gonna be lonely  
But you won’t find me around  
Lies, lies  
A-breakin’ my heart, ah

“I wanna be with you  
Long as you want me to  
But don’t move away”

Ain’t that what you said?

Why must you hurt me, do what you do?  
Listen here, girl, can’t you see I love you?  
Make a little effort, try to be true.  
I’ll be happy, not so blue.  
Liar, liar, pants on fire –  
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire,

I put a nickel in the telephone, dialed my baby’s number  
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line  
Each time I tried I got a busy tone, not my baby’s number  
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line  
Called his uncle in Jamaica  
Left a message with the baker  
Even checked the number in the telephone book  
Got so awfully, awfully worried  
To my baby’s house I hurried  
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook

_Busy Line. Rose murphy_

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir  
Some sing low and some sing higher,  
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire,  
Some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they’ve got now

Sing out  
The Lord is near  
Build him a temple here  
A palace of praise  
A throne of thanksgiving  
Made for the King of kings

At the end of my rainbow  
Lies a golden oldie

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky  
Where the beams of your love-light chase  
Don’t move, don’t speak, don’t feel no pain  
With the rain running down my face  
Your matches still light up the sky  
And many a tear lives on in my eye

Down in the city just **Hoople** and me  
Don’t I love him so?  
Ooh, don’t I love him so?

(“Now I’m Here,” Queen)

Cause I have waited all my life (flying high)  
For the one worth giving (love sky high)  
And I don’t have to think it twice (flying high)  
Let’s go up and away

Love’s light in flight  
Fuel injection passion (flying high)  
Love’s light in flight (love sky high)  
Fuel injection passion

At night we ride through the mansions of glory  
In suicide machines.  
Sprung from cages on Highway 9 –  
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin’ out over the line.

Take her on the highway for a little spin  
I want to see the kind of shape she’s in  
And I got a brand new star  
Jack her up baby, go on, open the hood  
I want to check if her oil smells good  
Mm, smells like caviar
