Living The Lie



When a milion miles from no where

Is still too close to home

You're with a hundred thousand people

And you still feel all alone



She was never in the circle

Or the round would be a square

And the more she seemed to want it

The less they seemed to care



Sold out and no admission

Too late to buy

It's never who it's only why

She's living the lie



When you're on your way to somewhere

But the elevator falls

Do you look for stairs to heaven

Or wander through the halls



He was only dedicated

To the ones who make the law

But they burned with too much fire

And his heart was made of straw



No ticket - no admission

Too late to buy

It's always he and he knows why

He's living the lie



Break down

How bad do you want it

How far will you go



If you're looking at tomorrow

To forget about today

Then the past will be your future

And it's there you'll always stay



What about the pictures

That smile from magazines

The ultimate temptation

Our new kings and all our queens



Such heat and too much pressure

Not worth the try

No more for them

Now it's I

And no more living the lie

Living the lie

Oh why

Live the lie
