King Of Deceit

(アルバム： The Life And Times Of Eddie Gage - 2022)

Good morning good morning
Well, how are you today
You don't know me, so I'll warn ya
Don't believe a word I say
I will blind you, mesmerize you
With the stories that I weave
And I'll tell you it's all true now
Cause my aim is to deceive

Oh, they've got a name for me
I lie, I steal, I cheat
I'm the king of deceit

No, I don't live in the shadows
And I might be your best friend
'Cause deception doesn't matter
It's just the means to an end
So excuse my rude behavior
But I laugh cause you're not sure
If I'm here to be your savior
Or to make you insecure

Oh, and on the day, we meet
I'll say respectfully
I'm the king of deceit
Oh, I can make you believe
I'll take your fantasies
And I'll make them all real

I'm a liar I'm a thief
And if you saw me on the street
You'd never know that it was me
Yeah, the king of deceit
Every word is a disease
And yet I make them sound so sweet
As they bring you to your knees
I will sing this melody

Oh...

I'll show you love and then take it away
And when your poor heart can't live one more day
I will make sure that they erase your name
The day you were born, the things that you did

Because now even if we had a deal
There always is a catch
'Cause once the contract's signed and sealed
You'll have to face the fact
That you have finally met your match
And you just can't hope to win
Against the king of sin

Oh, when you were just a young thing
I said tell a little white lie
But then soon enough the little ones
Began to multiply
Now you're cursed with an affliction
One that's slowly killing you
It's a lot like an addiction
When you just can't tell the truth

And so, in your final hour
I'll be right there by your side
As you hide there like a coward
'Cause you'll know your soul is mine

I'm a liar, I'm a thief
If you saw me on the street
Would you know that it was me?
Yeah, the king of deceit
Every word is a disease
And yet I make them sound so sweet
As they bring you to your knees
I will sing this melody
I'm a liar, I'm a thief
And if you saw me on the street
Would you come right up to me?
And say "Oh king of deceit
Every word is a disease
Yet you make them come out so sweet"
As you'd fall to your knees
The last thing you'd say to me

Would be "Lie to me
Oh lie to me"
I'm the king of deceit
"Lie to me
Won't you lie to me"
I'm the king of deceit
Oh
