Another Lie

(album: Cowabonga – Never Turn Your Back On A Wave - 1988)

I almost forgot your number
When I saw you passing by
But then it wasn't you at all
It was some other guy

I wake up with you in my dreams
Before I see the light
Someone else is by my side
I tell another lie

Everyday is a heartache when I tell another lie
Everyday is a heartache when I tell another lie

It's an unhealthy obsession
Un-adult and plebeian
I read all those books on letting go
But there you are again

I threw stones at your reflection
Though the waters all look calm
The rings have just reached China now
And I am still alone

Everyday is a heartache when I tell another lie
Everyday is a heartache when I tell another lie

I tell another lie (I tell another lie)
Oh it's just another lie (I tell another lie)
Yeah it's just another lie (I tell another lie)
It just another lie

Someday I will find other inspiration
But for now this theme of missed connections
Is my stepping stone
Mostly I lead a normal life with one affliction
One small part of every day, I break down

Oh baby, everyday, everyday, everyday
I tell another lie (I tell another lie)
Oh, it's just another lie (I tell another lie)
Yeah, I tell another lie (I tell another lie)
Everyday, everyday
