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

I wait in state
I lie instead
Insight, the light

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
