You know in some ways I'm privileged to be
Without a care in the market place
With no units to surpass from before
Not being the ace face

I've not wasted the past eight years
I've used my ears and eyes
Can you look me straight in the face

Can you look honest when you tell lies (X 3)

My name it goes before me
Wreaks terror in dullards eyes
So I tell them I don't really know but don't offer words for the wise
Even some friends are wary
When I wrote this my face was hairy
Maybe change my name to Mary
Maybe turn into a fairy

I've seen New York, I've seen Dallas
I've seen a guy with a toothbrush phallus
I've seen New York, I've seen Dallas
I've seen a guy with a toothbrush phallus
Drove a plane right through the sky
Can you look honest when you tell lies

I look honest when I tell lies (X 3)

And I don't know where he stands
Standing down for holding hands
One long struggle to survive
Can you look honest when you tell lies

So all in all I've got no plan
So am I man or mouse?
Pass the cheese and bowl of rice
Can you look honest when you tell lies

I look honest when I tell lies (X 10)
