Dio - Living The Lie Lyrics






When a million miles from no where
Is still too close to home
You're with a hundred thousand people
And you still feel all alone

She was never in the circle
Or the round would be a square
And the more she seemed to want it
The less they seemed to care

Sold out and no admission
Too late to buy
It's never who it's only why
She's living the lie

When you're on your way to somewhere
But the elevator falls
Do you look for stairs to heaven
Or wander through the halls

He was only dedicated
To the ones who make the law
But they burned with too much fire
And his heart was made of straw

No ticket - no admission
Too late to buy
It's always he and he knows why
He's living the lie

Break down
How bad do you want it
How far will you go

If you're looking at tomorrow
To forget about today
Then the past will be your future
And it's there you'll always stay

What about the pictures
That smile from magazines
The ultimate temptation
Our new kings and all our queens

Such heat and too much pressure
Not worth the try
No more for them
Now it's I
And no more living the lie
Living the lie
Oh why
Live the lie

    When a milion miles from no where
    Is still too close to home
    You're with a hundred thousand people
    And you still feel all alone

    She was never in the circle
    Or the round would be a square
    And the more she seemed to want it
    The less they seemed to care

    Sold out and no admission
    Too late to buy
    It's never who it's only why
    She's living the lie

    When you're on your way to somewhere
    But the elevator falls
    Do you look for stairs to heaven
    Or wander through the halls

    He was only dedicated
    To the ones who make the law
    But they burned with too much fire
    And his heart was made of straw

    No ticket - no admission
    Too late to buy
    It's always he and he knows why
    He's living the lie

    Break down
    How bad do you want it
    How far will you go

    If you're looking at tomorrow
    To forget about today
    Then the past will be your future
    And it's there you'll always stay

    What about the pictures
    That smile from magazines
    The ultimate temptation
    Our new kings and all our queens

    Such heat and too much pressure
    Not worth the try
    No more for them
    Now it's I
    And no more living the lie
    Living the lie
    Oh why
    Live the lie

    If you're looking at tomorrow
    To forget about today
    Then the past will be your future
    And it's there you'll always stay.

  13. S.... C....

    why is this great song not that popular?

    S.... C....

    Yeah, _really_ late response on my part... This is going to sound pretentious, and I'm not a recording/sound engineer, but there's something with the way this was mixed. The whole _album_, in fact. It's "off" somehow, but I can't tell you why. I think stuff like that kills the "appeal" in some cases...

    Maybe it's the sad lack of bass depth and I think Ron's vocals are pulled just a tad too far forward. But whadda I no?

    S.... C....

    i dunno mate this is by far my favorite dio album and i am dio fan since age of 10 and now i am 20 its my favorite of all his music not only the dio band

    S.... C....

    I definitely hear what you're saying. I love this album, but it's kinda like ...And Justice for All. Great album poor mixing.

    S.... C....

    Seth Rosson just not the black album.

    S.... C....

    Love this production. I don't know if you ever listened to the CD, but most uploads of this album on youtube sound pretty bad. The CD is really clean and crisp sounding with that little reverb here and there. Love it

  14. s.... ....

    This song is so awesome! The riffs are amazing, and the lyrics are clever! :D

  15. m.... ....

    Dio was an amazing Poet. ..His plays on words are very clever.

  16. A.... D....

    "If you're looking at tomorrow
    To forget about today
    Then the past will be your future
    And it's there you'll always stay"

  17. P.... O....

    Master of the Moon on of best songs..i think you know a lot of thing about DIO..

    but do you know the real story of that song?
