But seen I'm not different than the rest of the world
See my heart, it died a slow weary death
I just want a piece of the love of God
It's all a lie, it's all a lie

That you'll be home with sleepy eyes
You and I we're no different
Than the rest of the world when the morning rings

My need for love, my fear of heights
It's all a lie, it's all a lie
So I keep my wit, my running game

Everyone sings, everyone sings
‘Cause it's all a lie
To fix it all, ‘cause you know my pain

But it's all a lie
My shoulders straight, chin up high
We both have a past in a silver frame
I know you can tell that I can't help myself
When I walk alone into the night
Everyone wants a piece of the love of God
It's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie
They know my voice, they know my name
And I forget how the time, it flies
When my fingers crossed, I hope in vain
Can't help myself

My need for love, my fear of heights

There's no perfect way to clear the mess
‘Cause it's all a lie
When the day is long, and it keeps me dry
They know my voice, they know my name
In the tainted arms of another man

The lips of time, they kiss again
And I forget how the time, it flies
When the morning rings
