Lyrics: NoMeansNo. All Lies.

Lies are the words that I use
when you look up hopefully
All of the things that we feel
are a trick, a fantasy
What is the end?
It is love I pretend
It's calling, it's calling
And I'm falling, I'm falling
And she said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it comes from me
She said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it belongs to me
She said, I see, I see
She said, pray to me, pray to me---but it was
All lies, a pack of lies
It was all lies, why don't you fuck off and die
It was all lies, a pack of liesIt was all lies, all lies
Lies are the light and the hope
in your eyes as they shine on me
Tie up my hands with your chains
they are bound to set me free
I'm singing, I'm singing
And to that I'm clinging

The words that I say only drag me away
And I said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it comes from me
I said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it belongs to me
I said, I see, I seeI said, pray to me, pray to me---but it was
All lies . . .
Lies are the hopes and the chains that have dragged me here to you
All of these hopes and these chains I will gladly share with you
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
It's raining, it's pouring
And I'm falling, I'm falling
And he said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it comes from me
He said, pray to me, pray to me
All the love you see, it belongs to me
He said, I see, I see
He said, pray to me, pray to me---but it was
All lies . . .
