every face tells a story (it never tells a lie)

look at the man in the corner

he's sitting all alone

his blankets are made out of cardboard

and his pillows are made out of stone

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

see the man walking on the water

see the light in his eyes

he came into the world with a message to tell

he came into the world to die

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

you're always telling stories

you're always telling me lies

you're always telling stories

why?

so think of yourself in the water

seeing your days flashing by

it's too late to see what you wanted to be

you've spent all your time

you must die

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

every face tells a story it never tells a lie

oh

you're always telling stories

you're always telling me lies

you're always telling stories

why?

why don't you step down

and make it work out right

i'm trying to get to you with my warning

been here

for nearly half the night

look it's nearly four in the morning.
