Marillion – Paper Lies Lyrics

Rock

When you look into the mirror
Do you see a face you hardly recognize?
If you look into the sun too long
Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes?
Paper lies
Paper lies
Just to express what he's thinking
Must a man take all the mail will bring?
Are we living only for today?
It's a sign of the times
We believe anything and nothing
Paper lies
Paper lies
Paper lies
Paper lies
When you kill the truth
You might make a killing
You might just make losing look like winning
When it came to telling people what's going on
Nobody knows whose side you're on
Seems like you're sailing pretty close to the wind again
Paper lies
Paper lies
I know something that you don't know
Something that you ought to know
It's been a long time coming
Do you want to know a secret?
So we can bring our own minds
If you let us do our deed
We can take a tiny piece
Paper lies
Paper lies
Paper lies
Paper lies
I know something that you don't know
Something that you ought to know
Why don't you let us take a piece out of you?
Something that you ought to know
Tell you something that you ought to know
Tell you something that you ought to know
Paper lies
