Well she crept back in the house at half past three   Shook her head to see him snoring in his sleep   If he really loved me, she said   I wouldn't have to be so mean...      He's a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer   He sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor   It's evidence of what he was like   He likes to remember when...      Shall I lie, shall I lie, la lie?   The end is growing near   And we're treading water now   And holding back our tears   And the day is rising   We're sinking   Shall I lie?      In a minute it will all be coming down   And they know it now but no one makes a sound   It's such a shame to ruin this bright   Lazy sunny day...      Shall I lie, shall I lie, la lie?   The end is growing near   And we're treading water now   We're holding back our tears   And the day is rising   We're sinking   Shall I lie?      My my, the cruelest lies are often told without a word   My my, the kindest truths are often spoken, never heard      She said, You've been pushing me like I was a sore tooth.   You can't respect me 'cause I've done so much for you.   He said, Well I hate that it's come to this   But baby I was doing fine. How do you think   That I survived the other 25 before you?      Shall I lie, shall I lie, la lie?   The end is growing near   And we're treading water now   And holding back our tears   And the day is rising   We're sinking...   Shall I lie?
