You told so many lies 
 your tongue is black with fireflies 
 but you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing 
 And every word is such a joke 
 with so many pasts you'd be ninety years old 
 Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
 
 Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say 
 Don't think that I would never need it 
 Hey Hey - what's that I heard you say 
 Don't think that I would ever believe it
 
 It's just a thought and nothing more 
 that all your thoughts and moves are taught 
 and memorised each night before your sleeping 
 And every word is such a joke 
 strung form neon masts flying flags you hope 
 will win you friends and give your life some meaning
 
 Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say 
 Don't think that I would ever need it 
 Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say 
 Don't think that I would ever believe it
 
 You told so many lies 
 your tongue is stained with Alibis 
 You've been around the world and found it pleasing 
 And every word is such a joke 
 with so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old 
 Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
 
 Hey,Hey - what's that I heard you say
