Liar’s Nightmare – Graham NashBy I have always been hereAnd I’ll always be thereI can honestly tell youThat I really don’t careIf all the babies are brokenAnd the old folks are blindThere’s a hole in my heartBut I know you don’t mindIf I laugh at the cripplesAnd I cry for the clownsAnd I welcome the madnessThat I see coming downAnd I have no opinionsSo I feel no remorseI can see the Black KnightRiding up on his horseAnd there’s fire in his nostrilsAnd blood in his eyesAnd he’s looking at you, kidAs he races on bySo watch out for his hoovesThey’re gonna kill you for sureHe’s got some kind of sicknessThat no man can cureAnd his breath it will burn youAnd put out your eyesHe’ll tear out your tonguesSo you can’t even cryThat your body is brokenAnd your spirit is deadAnd you hope against hopeThat it’s a bad dream you hadAbout a meeting with ElvisAt the back of the storeYou’re both shoveling plasticwareRight out of the doorAnd the men who control youKeep yelling for more, more, more, moreYou pay all your taxesBut you don’t know what for‘Cause nothing seems to get betterThings seem to get worseWe’re all living in dangerFrom a politician’s curseAll promises have been brokenAll lips have been readWell the mouth has spokenBut nothing’s been saidThe dream has been shatteredThe flags have been burnedYou better make up your mindsFrom whatever you’ve learnedAbout your family valuesAnd the way they’ve been scornedSome babies have been batteredWay before they’ve been bornSome call me a liarSome call me a thiefBut the way that I look at thingsI can’t get no reliefSo I went to a meetingSpoke out of fearThey said, “Thank you for sharing,Now why are you here?”I said: everything’s shakingIncluding myselfI keep all my feelingsHigh up on a shelfAnd I can’t seem to reach themBut I know they were thereI’m trapped in this vacuumAnd I’m gasping for airSome people get betterSome people just fold.Some people rise above itOr so I’ve been toldSo I started to leave,I was searching for moreThey caught ahold of my sleeveBut I slipped through the doorI ran back to the officeWith my back to the wallWhen I came to my sensesI had no one to callSo I called up the doctorHe told me to lieHe said, “Get out of this nightmareOr you surely will die?So I forced myself to wake upAnd opened my eyesBut the man in the mirrorWas there in disguiseHe was playing his part,Living in a tranceSentenced to be a witness‘Cause he had no defenseThe anesthetic is wearing thinAnd you’re starting to sweatAnd you finally realizeThat it ain’t over yet‘Cause the way you’ve been feelingThey must have hit a nerveI know it’s not what you wantBut it’s what you deserveThe operation is overListen to me pleaseI’m begging forgivenessDown on my kneesComing back to consciousnessI was out of my headWell the dream is overAnd I’m back in my bedI’ve always been hereAnd I’ll always be thereI can honestly tell youThat I really do careI gotta tell you the truthAbout the sadness I findI have opened my heart to you,And I hope you don’t mind. www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
