Could You Lie? - Swingin Utters

You’re saying to me what you hear

From all the people cursing in your ear

Trying out the possibilities of finding in me

My worst sense of fear now you’re a coward

And you’re much too tense and you’re afraid

You jump at my pretense but could you lie, if your life would end?

Could you lie, I don’t think you can

When you’re sleeping premonitions of the worst kind

Come creeping from your mind

So you slam the bedroom door from all the things

That may have come and then you hide

Now you’re confused and you sleep much too late

You try to drink, but you don’t like the taste, but could you lie?

You will on your first date rape

Now you’re trapped into an alleyway

You’re covered in a box and soaked with rain

When you think about the food your mother made

When you were young you go insane

Maybe this could go another way, do you want to live another day?
