Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?
The prophet took my hand on All Soul's Day
He preached the value of deception
Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules
Tales are never just for fools
The court of conscience came before me
Presented me with a heavenly angel
You took my hand and asked me, truth aside
To his questions I replied
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
He stood as tall as redwood trees
Drank tea from a seamstress thimble
I didn't want to speak, the honest truth
So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you wants me to be
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?
But do you want me?
He preached the value of deception
Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules
Tales are never just for fools
The court of conscience came before me
Presented me with a heavenly angel
You took my hand and asked me, truth aside
To his questions I replied
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
He stood as tall as redwood trees
Drank tea from a seamstress thimble
I didn't want to speak, the honest truth
So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you wants me to be
Secrets, lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?
But do you want me?
