On the Lie

He burned 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'll come

She said every day 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

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 gotta die facing up in the world

Cuz 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

Cuz it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world, and

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

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 been a stinkin' lie
