Lyrical Lies (Full Electric Version)

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 (over my head)
I'm stealing lines from myself
And what I said was never said
It's just a lyrical lie (a lyrical lie)
Made up in my mind (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

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 my 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
