Liar

(album: Nightsongs - 2001)

And even though I told her of the danger
She went ahead and did it anyway
Ended up in the dark seat train dying
Looking pretty on a Saturday

Call 911, there's a girl in trouble
She's raped and broken, it was done by my double
Oh
Ba ba ba ba
Oh
Mm

A kid I blew in Central Park called
I met him in a local café
He told me hard-luck stories of his childhood
I took his life in the light of day

Call 911, there's a boy in trouble
He's raped and broken, it was done by my double

Oh
Ba ba ba ba
Oh
Mm

I can romanticize or I can realize
That my whole life's been living as a liar
But when I walked away with their blood on mine hands
I knew I reached for something higher

Oh
(Call me)
(I reached)
Oh
Ba ba ba ba
(Call me)
(I reached)
(Call me)
(A liar)

The cabarets of Liverpool and Luxembourg
Have closed for marrow reconstruction
I'm leaving Sunday on a boat
For Alta Mesa junction

I've got a friend there, he'll take care of me
I've got a friend there, he'll take care of me
I've got a friend there, he'll take care of me
I've got a friend there, he'll take care of me
