lyrics

Under your soles accumulate enemies
A break in your smile to get me underneath your skin
Like a phosphorescent glow

How soon heaven shows she knows your obscenities
Commiserate with your friends and give in
Much to my chagrin
Light the coal the fire grows

Truth on the fly
When all you want's a lie
And everything in time

Whoever told you I was down on my knees
When I sing the smile of a lost elogy
Whenever it comes
And I'll sing a smile to help you understand

So tired, so many wrongs to mend
Sunshine comin' around the bend
But you're pushin' and shovin'
Like you're tellin' me something
In the end it means nothing when you've got nothing to show.

Truth on the fly
When all you want's a lie
And happiness is on your side
After all, your consciousness is blind
Historically tied down
