Lies And Deception

The Stranglers

The words 
Came down the line 
Just a few words 
At a time 
The meaning 
It was Clear 
There was no sign of fear 
The scene 
That they described 
Were sad 
You could have cried 
The journey's 
Just too long 
To even 
Take the ride 

It's always 
The same 
It's always 
In vain 
If the truth 
Were only known 
If the words 
Had only shown 

That lies and deception 
They move in one direction 
And then in the end you lose........ 

That lies and deception 
They move in one direction 
And then in the end you lose........ 
You lose 

And now 
The line is dead 
You did everything 
You ever said 
You brought it down 
You turned around 
And what was said 
Was said 
The deed is done 
You've had your fun 
And home again 
You'll run 

You know inside 
You'll never hide 
And what was done 
Was done 

It's always 
The same 
It's always 
In vain 
If the truth 
Were only known 
If the words 
Had only shown 

That lies and deception 
They move in one direction 
And then in the end you lose........ 

That lies and deception 
They move in one direction 
And then in the end you lose........
