Oh put it on, take it off real quick
on the bottom of the pile, I'm feelin sick.
You never cross my mind, not by baby night, no-
you keep me in the beggar's guild.
So I sleep all day and I dream all night
with the bottle in my hand I take the devil's side.
I smile real big just to keep it hid
oh, the truth about my lack of will.
So I run like hell from the city's glow
I lose my name, I pass before the folks I used to know
If I go far away from the city grates
and the long reach of the government.
Oh all alone in a cold north sea,
in the blue sky above a plane flew over me.
The banner it pulled said "you are a fool,"
"did you really think you'd ever win?"
I'm taking off my dirty skin.
There is nothing to refute my sin.
I fear no one
I fear no one but you.
(Don't ... )
I lie only to tell the truth.
(No)
Oh the steep demands of the higher call
oh you (palm?) all the words so the cogs won't stall.
I burned my clothes and I gut my soul
and pretend that I was never born (ah yeah).
Oh my oh my, look what you have done
Spit your head out on the floor like you're the chosen one.
I give her my heart but she wanted no part
so I sold it to an antique store.
So I dug a hole four thousand miles down
To the center of the Earth where I will not be found.
Memories of the moon singing see you soon,
oh I was always partial to the sun.
I was picked up by two men of the law
They said we're taking you downtown, forget about your call.
Hell's no place for a wandering face
Go take it up with Beelzebub.
You laugh as you pull out the rug
I was never really much in love.
I fear no one
I fear no one but you.
(Don't ... )
I lie only to tell the truth.
