lyrics

I’m a liar. There I said it. Don’t want to be remiss
Proceed with caution at your own risk
Cuz my tongue is forked and my pants are ablaze
Someday I’ll pay for my wicked, wicked ways

I lie for a living and I’ve done really well
Got it down to a science. No one can tell
My nose don’t grow and my palms don’t sweat
I’m the quintessential counterfeit

But I apologize for all my lies
And I’m sorry for this one too
I can’t help myself but it’s just as well
Cause even that’s not true
It’s just what liars do

Some lie for the sport, some lie for gain
Some lie to hide emptiness and pain
Some lie for looks and some lie for love
All my lies are all of the above

I lie in the high grass I lie in the weeds
Like a lion stalking helpless wildebeest
I can lie bold faced. I can lie real shy
through my pearly white teeth as I look you in the eye

But I apologize for all my lies
And I’m sorry for this one too
I can’t help myself and it’s just as well
Cause even that’s not true
It’s just what liars do

Now you’ve heard my song, don’t believe a word
In fact forget everything you’ve just heard
Including this and what comes next
You can’t trust a liar even when he’s confessed

He wins over audiences with an organic stage presence, a honeyed rumble of a voice and an unteachable ability to always sound genuine and in the moment
