lyrics

I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
I’ll rewrite recent history before your eyes
Before resorting to the truth I’ll have numerous tries
And stretching credibility to fabricate incessantly

I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
Nothing I say should come as a surprise
And how long will it be before you realise
That there’s no way that I’ll reveal
What’s real if I can just conceal
Even the minutest details
And yet in honest moments I know

What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say

I’m in the business of telling monstrous lies
Flirting with disaster, I can still hear their cries
While my deceitful ways brought me first prize

So now I’ve confessed it may come as a surprise
But I’d never suspect that you ever told me lies
And I’d be outraged if I thought otherwise

I have to believe all I see
I want to trust you totally
Yes, I need the security
That in my darkest moments I know

What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
What it all comes down to is I believe everything you say
