Outright Lies

Outright Lies

88 Fingers Louie
(album: Behind Bars)

I try my best to reach perfection
And all I get is more rejection
I wanna know what you´re about

It´s nice to know someone´s out there asking
But what´s it worth when it´s all you´re telling?
I think it´s you I´ve finally figured out

Those outright lies you´ve said are knocking me down
What´s left to do when your life´s turned upside down?

I´ve gotten flak from all who know me
If you speak truth then you need to show me
You can´t expect me to just nod my head and smile
Cos ignorance is not my style

As my false pride gets in the way
I start believing all you say
I cross my fingers all the while

I´m running in a different race
I´m out of time and out of place
I play the sucker all the time
I simply can´t make up my mind
Whoever I choose to believe
Who says they won´t stand up and leave
And who´ll be waiting next in line
Won´t you give me another sign?

Those outright lies you´ve said are knocking me down
What´s left to do when your life´s turned upside down?

Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
