Low - Lies Lyrics






When they found you on the edge of the road
You had a pistol underneath your coat
But it all started back in '79
Your mother used to work from sunset to 5
And when you knew enough to know where to go
You said you wanted to be out on your own
Why don't you tell me what you really want
Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies

You say you must be going out of your mind
And I can see you when I look in your eyes
You're always talking on the end of your tongue
And sweep the ashes underneath the rug
You swear you're having just the time of your life
You've got it wrapped in pretty papers and white
Why don't you tell me what you really want
Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies

Oh baby we gotta go
The shadow's taking its toll
We’re not winning any more
Time is keeping score
It's the blind leading the blind
One can handle the night
Oh, it's not what I wanna say
But I’ll say it anyway

When I saw you on the edge of the road
You had a pistol underneath your coat
I should be sleeping by your lonely side
Instead of working on this song all night

    When they found you on the edge of the road
    You had a pistol underneath your coat
    But it all started back in '79
    Your mother used to work from sunset to 5
    And when you knew enough to know where to go
    You said you wanted to be out on your own
    Why don't you tell me what you really want
    Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies

    You say you must be going out of your mind
    And I can see you when I look in your eyes
    You're always talking on the end of your tongue
    And sweep the ashes underneath the rug
    You swear you're having just the time of your life
    You've got it wrapped in pretty papers and white
    Why don't you tell me what you really want
    Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies
    Lies, lies, lies
    Lies, lies, lies

    Oh baby we gotta go
    The shadow's taking its toll
    We’re not winning any more
    Time is keeping score
    It's the blind leading the blind
    One can handle the night
    Oh, it's not what I wanna say
    But I’ll say it anyway

    w.... #....

    Maybe you don't like the production style, which I get. It's a little abrasive and different. But the songs themselves stand up to anything else they've done in the past.

  24. M.... P....

    Wow. Low is like fine wine...gets better with age.

  25. D.... R....

    por alguna extraña razón siento que esta canción es perfecta
