about

This song was scattered about in my brain long before recording it in 2007. It probably should have been a SKA song in a previous band.

lyrics

Well they say that you’ve got some problems with authority
Well I’ve got some questions would you mind answering me
About everything that's been
And ever strong enough to hold
Your attentions for more than a minute
This song is getting old

So she sells lies
Down by the sea shore
And he gets high
Off of each one that he buys
A little bit more than the last time
He does his lines and waits and waits
And contemplates his crime

So he writes her some letters
From his apartment on the east coast
And she never responds just reads and rips
Becomes post office ghost
And each letter she rips commits a literary murder
Each implication far
Greater than its crime

And he wants to believe in
Everything he doesn’t see
But in his mind he knows it
In his mind he shows it
In his mind he knows
He knows it

So she sells lies
But now no more lies to him
The next gentleman to walk on by
Will swallow the hook
And troll on in

And each time that she tells a lie
And each time that she waves goodbye
And each time that she takes a look
Looking up from her tear stained books
But not before she combs her hair
While he washes her underwear

He knows, he knows
He knows, he knows
He knows it
