It's All A Lie - Keren Ann

The lips of time, they kiss again

When I walk alone, into the night

They know my voice, they know my name

My need for love, my fear of heights

So I keep my wit, my running game

My shoulders straight and chin up high

But it’s all a lie

It’s all a lie

And I forget how the time, it flies

When my fingers crossed, I hope in vain

That you’ll be home with sleepy eyes

To fix it all, cause you know my pain

And I forget how the time, it flies

When the day is long, and it keeps me dry

Cause it’s all a lie

There’s no perfect way to clear the mess

We both a past, in a silver frame

See, my heart, it died, a slow weary death

In the tainted arms of another man

But you and I we’re no different

Than the rest of the world

When the morning rings

Everyone wants a piece of the love of god

And everyone sings… everyone sings

I know you can tell that I can’t help myself

But I can’t help myself

Cause it’s all a lie

It’s all a lie

The lips of time, they kiss again

When I walk alone, into the night

They know my voice, they know my name

My need for love, my fear of heights

But see, I’m not different than the rest of the world

When the morning rings

I just want a piece of the love of god
