He burnt down the house one night he had a loaded six-pack gun
He said that "Jesus Christ was just like a cop, you know, you never know when they'd come"
She said "Every day above ground above ground was another dream come true"
He said "I'd hang and swap clichés all night, but I'm not in love with you"
*^*CHORUS*^*
And I never got serious til everything went black
And I ain't so curious that I'm ever going back
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
He said, "Man, you want to be Elvis"
I said "I ain't dying face down"
He said "You've got to die facing up in the world cause there's too many holes around"
He asked what was wrong with me, he said I looked like a Hollywood girl.
I said that "Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man, cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world"
*^*CHORUS*^*
On the lie, he was
On the lie
On the lie, she was
On the lie
On the lie, he was
On the lie
It's all a stinking lie...
