David Byrne - Lie to Me lyrics

It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if
Things are not what they seem
Making up stories that you know aren't true
But, you know it's all right
'cause I know it too

Who is the lady with the sno-cone eyes?
Who has the candy with the soft insides?
Talk show religion and soap opera love
Whatever happened to heavens above?
Well you can lie to me and I imagine you do
If nothin's right what's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you

Birds are flying from east to west
Dogs are running a political race
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder who you are

Well you can lie to me

And I imagine you do if nothin's right
What's wrong? That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you

It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream
And you know I don't care if
Things are not what they seem
I wanna be happy, I can't stand the pain
I wanna believe, so tell me again
I'm like a chicken without a head
I'd like to fly, but I walk instead
Emotional junkies how blind we must be
I'm just a fool for your las Vegas tears

Well you can lie to me and I imagine you do
If nothin's right what's wrong?
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
That's what I like about you
