Tony Banks - The Lie lyrics
Thirty odd years before on some grass covered wasteland, A boy is observed on his own who is watching and playing. He's just made a pact with himself, If that rabbit over there Doesn't go down yonder hole, Let the ground beneath him disappear. And it runs on past, Disappears in the distance But the earth doesn't move and nobody thought that it would. He makes bets and pledges again and again. Sometimes he wins and sometimes he loses, no matter, Some might call him stupid To tempt fate in this way, But he really does believe in it Each time the rules are made There he goes again, 'If I never fall for a lady, let me famous, let me be wise ---' Now this one I like, It has a different ring, Instead of something trivial That's a serious undertaking. So I say to you, This time I think I'll act, I'll be a witness to this contract, I'll settle everything. So if you should ever fall in love You'll not only not be wise, You'll lose your memory and most of your mind And I've never been known to lie. And ow he's not really sure if he truly heard someone, So what if he did, he thinks, for nothing will happen, And though he seems to shrug it off He won't play that game again, Forever morning after the night before When even one drop would cause pain. And the years go by. The incident is all but forgotten by one But The other who lives it remembers that innocent fun |
