I Am Going To Spend My Whole Life Lying lyrics

I didn`t bother coming on back home.

I didn`t bother calling you on the phone,

`cause there are the little punches, they won`t hurt anymore.

You`re getting sleepy, this won`t hurt anymore.



You better mind your p`s and q`s.

You better thank your lucky stars, this

the bigger fish ain`t made a meal out of you.

I`m drinking wine I didn`t squeeze out of you.



I`m a swinging axe.

I`m a baseball bat.

I`m the cudgel sort,

and I`m a quick reply,

a fast retort.



Always aiming to save my skin,

and looks like my lucky day.

Bottoms up on the cup of the bold ones.

"It looks like I`ll be home for the holidays."



I got your hangin` ups.

Well, go to sleep little girl.

Don`t you wait up.



And this was never meant to feel good.

I never said it`d fly.

Don`t call me at the office,

and don`t you pass me in the hall.



And let the Ceasar have the Brutus,

and let the Judas have the face,

`cause, did you think I`m bare and distant?

It`s good to know you feel the same.

I`m a swinging axe.

I`m a baseball bat

hiding in the hall.



I`m staring at you so hard.



Don`t say I never warned you

when I set the house on fire.

And I spread myself in your garden

to keep an eye on you awhile.



And all your final moments,

a job that hates you, too.

Just remember, I spent this whole life

lying to myself and you.



This was never meant to feel good.

I never said it`d fly.

So, don`t call me at the office,

because I`m laughing in the hall.



So, are you baptised in the water

of a little place called trust?

`Cause you can do whatever you want to,

`cause they will not destroy us.

No, they will not destroy us.



I`d rather it be me.
