Lies — Status Quo

I had another drink after another drink And then I tried to crawl to the door

I had another smoke after another joke And then I couldn't take any more. It didn't change a thing

Not any single thing

When someone tried to tell me for sure.

I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream

I read a word or two about ev'rything

I never knew the way that it ought to have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it. And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes They won't go away. And the times that I've tried are the times That I find they don't show today. But you make me feel so good. I woke up after four still Iying on the floor Waiting to be carried away

I woke up once again a little after ten

Will things be any better today? It doesn't change you see

It only changes me. Will someone try to tell me I'm sure?

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines again and look between

I never knew the way that it ought to have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it. And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes . . . But you make me feel so good. I'm going baGk to school I'm gonna check the rules And see if I get carried away. I'm going back again I'm gonna try again

Don't listen what the people might say.

It doesn't change a thing

Not any single thing

When someone tried to tell me for sure. I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream . . And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes . . . But you make me feel so good. I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream . . And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes . . . And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes . . .
