Jack's Mannequin - La La Lie Lyrics






Guess what I'm done
Writing you songs
You'll give up your job at the bank
Proving money's not fun when you're gone
So this is the first verse
It's not very long
But I'm ready to move on

Guess what I'm done
Writing your book
The ending got twisted around
But for all the hell that it took
The electrical wires
They'll hum in the walls
In the room that I rent now without you

I've got friends who
La La Lie
Will help me pull through
La La Lie
La La La Lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah yeah yeah

That's right

So guess what I'm done
Drawing your pictures
I'm dulling the day with a drink
In a parking garage by the theatre
We met for a movie
Every scene was a sign
We made out through their meaning

Well I've got friends who
La La Lie
Will help me pull through
La La Lie
La La La Lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Guess what I'm done
Writing you songs
I'm far too unstable to settle
I doubt that the doctors are wrong
So I'll wait by a palm tree, a palm tree, a palm tree

Well I've got friends
La La Lie
To help me pull through
La La Lie
La La La Lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July

Well I've got friends who
La La Lie
Will help me pull through
La La Lie
This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back
I'm coming back to my girl
Back to my girl

This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back to my girl by July

  4. T.... ....

    Is it just me, or is this the most under-rated album in history.

    T.... ....

    Temp3st60 It is not just you.

    T.... ....

    I loved SoCo, the other Jack's Mannequin albums, and AM in the Wilderness. BUT, there was something different about this album. It's 14 years old and I love it more now than I did when it originally came out. It's relatable...and never gets old. Also, he's an amazing person. He's brought awareness and has helped so many AYA cancer patients with his Dear Jack Foundation.

    T.... ....

    @Brooke Taylor it gets better with age like a fine wine

  5. S.... V....

    I feel there is a sarcastic undertone regarding his friends, due to the emphasis on the LIE. That is how i personally interpret it

  6. S.... T....

    So many memories of being younger...

  7. B.... ....

    Andrew McMahon songs are so good on first hearing and yet... they still get better every time. Total genius. Beautiful atmospheric solo gig in Union Chapel. Never thought a piano and a voice could mean so much.

  13. J.... B....

    been stuck in my head all dayyy ahh love this song

  14. m.... ....

    No high not as in drunk. This guy was an addict for a long time

    m.... ....

    monk138 No he wasn't. His body was addicted to pain meds from post transplant shingles. He quit cold turkey on doctors orders. There is a huge difference in being addicted and being an addict.

    m.... ....

    @Jessica Dawson He was using long before then. Hence the song, "Ben Franklin's Kite" and "Watch the Sky". This album came out before he was diagnosed.

  15. C.... ....

    Am I the only one who hears the piano at the very end??

  16. E.... S....

    Reminds me of my ex...god do I miss her.
