lies and deception

the words

came down the line

just a few words

at a time

the meaning

it was clear

there was no sign of fear

the scene

that they described

were sad

you could have cried

the journey's

just too long

to even

take the ride

it's always

the same

it's always

in vain

if the truth

were only known

if the words

had only shown

that lies and deception

they move in one direction

and then in the end you lose. that lies and deception

they move in one direction

and then in the end you lose. you lose

and now

the line is dead

you did everything

you ever said

you brought it down

you turned around

and what was said

was said

the deed is done

you've had your fun

and home again

you'll run

you know inside

you'll never hide

and what was done

was done

it's always

the same

it's always

in vain

if the truth

were only known

if the words

had only shown

that lies and deception

they move in one direction

and then in the end you lose. that lies and deception

they move in one direction

and then in the end you lose.
