throw the body in the lake

and take a chance that no one finds out



your life is stories that you fake

and rake like leaves behind you



so row the boat into the bay

and say you've lost your compass



your life is pieces that you play

and maybe they will trump us



blow the kiss you never felt

and belt your wife for smiling



love is lying by yourself

alone awake and crying



honey

even if you knew

even if you knew

even if you knew

what lies, what lies behind that honeymoon



sew the ribbon round your throat

and coat your mouth with honey



your life is books you never wrote

and tote only for money



dig a hole into the ground

and pound the earth in outrage



your life is treasures that you've found

and drowned in lakes that you've made



show the soul you never had

a fad that will not save you



your life is hiding all the bad

and sad smiles that break you



honey

even if you knew

even if you knew

even if you knew

what lies, what lies behind that honeymoon



honey if you took back all the promises and rings

and little things and when he sings would you still 

know

what lies behind that honeymoon



movies that you make and you hit stop and you hit play

and the scenes are day by day would you still know

what lies behind that honeymoon



comb through all facts to learn his words are rather 

heady

says he's ready to go steady would you still know

what lies behind that honeymoon



pies that you will bake when you are sittin in the 

kitchen

are you listenin to what your missing would you still 

know

what lies behind that honeymoon



be the first to crack when your new love must be 

measured

under pressure under pleasure would you still know

what lies behind that honeymoon



suckle on the lack of all the hugs you never got

and if you rot it's what you bought would you still 

know

what lies behind that honeymoon



dew lies on the haystack you were tied and you were 

tethered

like a feather in stormy weather would you still know

what lies behind that honeymoon.



be the first to crack when your new love must be 

measured

under pressure under pleasure would you still know

what lies behind that honeymoon
