The Lie Lyrics by Turnpike Gates

2018

Friends you never knew you had
Raise your banner, wave your flag
They light a candle in your name
But they can't understand your pain
Or what it's like to be estranged
From a world that seems insane
There comes a time when everyone
Is forced to say goodbye
But I know that time and space
Is nothing by a lie
We never learned in Catholic school
What to do when life is cruel
Where to go when you’ve lost free will
And St. Anthony is pushing pills
Who to call when the nights are long
And Satan’s bed feels like home
There comes a time when everyone
Is forced to say goodbye
But I know that time and space
Is nothing by a lie
No more nights spent lying awake
Wondering why we try
No more nights spent lying awake
Thinking about the lie
I had this dream we were in France
On Hugo’s grave we shared a dance
Next thing I know, we’re in L.A
Me, you and Bukowski, oh, what a day
Before I wake, we’re in Peru
Paining Nazca Lines red, white and blue
