Lie to Me

This hitchhike scenery and the schoolboy machinery
well, it's all good
it's been hardwired to our brains
it's still part of our game
it's me and you

We're a work in progress
leads to places we've never seen
yes, it's true
like a writer kills for time
you twist my words with rhyme of the darkest blue

See the trees the telephones
clotheslines skin and bones
how it hurts to know you're there
so close but unawares
as the bridges bow their heads
in sunset's venetian red
with unknown stories told
frozen like a stone
when your lies have all been told
and you're free...
you can lie to me

From the coloured lights high streets
to cedar line carseats
go back with me
from sticky sweet ice pops
to Rocklin's open shop
yes, it's still there

See the trees the telephones
clotheslines skin and bones
how it hurts to know you're there
so close but unawares
while the bridges bow their heads
in sunset's venetian red
with unknown stories told
frozen like a stone
when your lies have all been told
and you're free
you can lie to me
