Oh put it on, take it off real quick On the bottom of the pile, I’m feeling 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 care no, no I lie only to tell the truth (no) Oh the steep demands of the higher call Oh you pawned 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 care no, no I lie only to tell the truth (no)
