well im reading this poem and its so profound
and i like its rhythm and i like its sound
by a very famous poet no critic can criticize
and then i pause a moment and i start to realize

Chorus:
C5         F5
lies lies lies lies
C5         G5
lies lies lies lies
C5         F5
lies lies lies lies
C5    G5    C5
lies lies lies

C5

he tell you all about that

Chorus

C5

and God help us all not to be so stone surprised
When we wake up in the stars with the skies in our eyes
if we keep tellin...
