I’m about to sell you a barstool Afterwards I’ll sell you the world Feed a fistful of tall tales to Bail me out from ten thousand different girls (You say yes to everyone) Not gonna lie, not gonna lie, not this time Before I die I’ve got to tell it all Hey man Do you remember now? Remember Sodom and Medusa? Not gonna lie to you Lying her down, 12 lines a night Lying in starlight in a villa built of bourbon and blow and miles of beauty buoyant in the fading light While pilots in flight fight over their ocean in tow I lied the the first time one last time This voice is mine, I have no choice While I still love you Not gonna lie, not gonna lie Before I die, I’ve got to tell it all But hey Do you remember now? Remember how we fucking died? Dancing our lives away on a bullet train Flung through the heart of a lonely year Not gonna lie, not gonna lie to tell it to you Dying in the heat while dying in heat Ten thousand degrees becomes just one One degree of separation lost Thirty thousand feet over heartbreak I’ve seen it all, remember it too And I won’t lie to tell it to you This voice is mine, I have no choice While I still love you Not gonna lie, not gonna lie Before I die, I’ve got to tell it all

I wait in state I lie instead Insight, the light The things I said The time, the ice I pace, re-tread I wait in state I lie instead Insight, the light The things I said The time, the ice I pace, re-tread Remember the time when we'd been last? The pain you know The look, the wait Inside the fight The things I say The time, the ice I pace, I lie Remember just how we'd been the last? Remember just how we'd been the last? I lie in state I lie, I lie I lie, I lie I lie, I lie lie lie I lie, I lie, I lie
