Status Quo - Lies

I had another drink after another drink

And then I tried to crawl to the door



I had another smoke after another joke

And then I couldn't take any more.

It didn't change a thing



Not any single thing



When someone tried to tell me for sure.



I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream



I read a word or two about ev'rything



I never knew the way that it ought to have been



They never told me a thing about it



I never did know a thing about it.

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

They won't go away.

And the times that I've tried are the times

That I find they don't show today.

But you make me feel so good.

I woke up after four still Iying on the floor

Waiting to be carried away



I woke up once again a little after ten



Will things be any better today?

It doesn't change

you see



It only changes me.

Will someone try to tell me I'm sure?



I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream



I'm gonna read the lines again and look between



I never knew the way that it ought to have been



They never told me a thing about it



I never did know a thing about it.

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

. . .

But you make me feel so good.

I'm going baGk to school

I'm gonna check the rules

And see if I get carried away.

I'm going back again

I'm gonna try again



Don't listen what the people might say.



It doesn't change a thing



Not any single thing



When someone tried to tell me for sure.

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

. .

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

. . .

But you make me feel so good.

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

. .

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes

. . .

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
