I Can’t Stop Lying

Lyrics

Oh, I am everything you see & I am everyone you know I've got a classical degree & I've got a monster down below I've got a string of young admirers who love every note I play Got a problem with my woman - don't believe a word I say And I long for her respect, but it hasn't happened yet So I try to play it cool, but she thinks that I'm a fool 'Cos I can't stop lying No, I can't stop lying There is nowhere in this world that I haven't laid my hat There's a trail of fancy headgear from Alaska to Eilat I've got countless opportunities to further my career And I listen to the voices when they whisper in my ear But she cause me so much grief with her disbelief And it burns me to my soul, but it's out of my control 'Cos I can't stop lying No, I can't stop lying And if you believe this, you'll believe anything [Spoken line] I was the lead tenor with the Albuquerque Opera Company for the last two seasons I was the lead tenor with the Albuquerque Opera Company for the last two seasons I was the lead tenor with the Albuquerque Opera Company for the last two seasons How can I possibly retract all of the things that I have said? All those fascinating tales were manufactured in my head How can I possibly admit to her that all is not so swell? And that I'm drowning in confusion at the bottom of a well And the walls are so steep, and I'm in too deep And it sounds as if it's true, but there's nothing I can do 'Cos I can't stop lying, yeah No, I can't stop lying, yeah No, I can't stop lying, yeah! No, I can't stop lying, yeah, all right! Right on!
