heaven can take your lies

when you're hit by hunger

you just don't feel right

it's pulling you under

your head's in a vice

you light a blue paper

from the power of one

look in the mirror

see what you have done

heaven can take your lies

no need to mystify

no! no! no!

you've called on the spirits

and taken their names

you've paid the price

for it's going down the drain

told all your troubles

bored all your friends

the cards in your pack

all wild with contempt

heaven can take your lies

no need to mystify

no! no! no!

you just keep guessing

this life's undressing

and your hands keep slipping

from around all your lies

and heaven can take your lies

no need to mystify

no! no! no!

when you're hit by hunger

you just don't feel right

it's pulling you under

your head's in a vice

you light a blue paper

from the power of one

look in the mirror

see what have you done

heaven can take your lies

no need to mystify

no! no! no!

you just keep guessing

this life's undressing

and your hands keep slipping

from around all your lies

all of your lies

you just keep guessing

this life's undressing

but your hands keep slipping

from around all your lies

all of your lies

heaven can take your lies

no need to mystify

no!
