Are we judged here by the things we say
Or is it just the noise we make?
Long before you were a patent pending,
There was a time you were the artist, friendly.
wah-ahhh, wah-ahhh

When you really have to move you’ll be amazed
At the way you learn to hide this stuff away
At the writer with the new headliner it showed, looking for some new venues.
You could outgrow, you could outgrow.

I didn’t mean to live that many lies
How that encyclopedia of classic takedowns.
I didn't mean to live that many lies
To tell that long preceding line you’re a holdout.

Someone really needs to turn the lights out
Don’t you know there is a war out here?
It’s time enough, that on the dead end streets.
You’re done exploring, you've done it with death,
Haven’t you, haven’t you?

I didn't mean to live that many lies
How that encyclopedia of classic takedowns.
I didn’t mean to live that many lies
To tell that long preceding line you’re a holdout.

Got the mail on the first day back
In the loft above and left to rot
Left there listening, so many cases left
If it gets more inappropriate.
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know.

I didn’t mean to live that many lies
How that encyclopedia of classic takedowns.
I didn’t mean to live that many lies
To tell that long preceding line you’re a holdout.
