Elton John — Lies

[Verse 1] Some lie about who they love Some lie about the truth Some lie to save their lives Some lie about their youth [Verse 2] Some lie about age and beauty The conquest of sex Most lie about the night before A woman lies for a party dress [Pre-Chorus] I've lied for a stolen moment I've lied for one more clue I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you [Chorus] And we lie, lie, lie On a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie For that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear something That sounds like the truth [Verse 3] Some lie in the face of death Some lie about their fame Some kneel and lie to God Some lie about their name [Verse 4] Some lie in words and speeches With every living breath The young lie with their guitars The old lie for a little respect [Pre-Chorus] I've lied to lie with danger I've lied for a drug or two I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you [Chorus] And we lie, lie, lie On a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie For that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear something That sounds like the truth [Pre-Chorus] I've lied for a stolen moment I've lied for one more clue I've lied about most everything But I never lied to you [Chorus] And we lie, lie, lie On a streetcar named desire Oh we lie, lie, lie For that sweet bird of youth I could be great like Tennessee Williams If I could only hear something That sounds like the truth
