Paroles de Lyrical lies

An old man gave me a tip he said
?don?t waste your time with politics? he said
?just chase skirts instead
And life is too short, and you?re almost dead? he said
?i met a woman once; i gave her my best shot
But never did i talk, and talk, and talk
If i had her back i?d be as real as my age
I so don?t blame them, i wouldn?t do the same
But i can blame them, i?d sing her this?

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

And i think what i just wrote is going over my head
I?m stealing lines from myself
And what i said was never said
It?s just a lyrical lie
Made up in my mind

You want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit

And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

You?re moving but not aware
You?re drowsy without a care
Except keeping your whites behind your lids
And your lids are your best canvas
I can only imagine what you?re painting
What you?re painting
And your body on my mattress is proof
And your makeup on your pillow is proof
But do you think i am telling you the truth
It?s just a lyrical lie
Made up in my mind

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip

And you want to be dressed in poetry
But imagery doesn?t fit
And you want resizing
But darling dear get a grip
