[ Featuring the Rare Birds ]
You don't strike me as a betting type
And yet i feel like a dog in a poke
I ain't no barking until we work out
Who's the real butt of this joke
I'll teach you to dance to the flickering hope
So until everything comes to grief
Will you be my starry-eyed liar
And I'll be your clumsy thief
Please, be my starry-eyed liar
And I'll be your clumsy thief
I gather your folks were pirates at sea
And my old man once robbed a grocery store
He gave good half to them beggarly folks
Stashed other half under the kitchen floor
Twelve years later sin bin had enough of him
Twelve years later sin bin spat what's left of him
Inflation ate what rats didn't sniff
God bless the starry-eyed liar
And his sidekick, that clumsy thief
Oh, Peggy sue
Oh, Peggy sue
Lets paint this town red tonight
And do what lovers do
Oh, Peggy sue
Oh, Peggy sue
I'm gonna tell you thousand lies
And each of them will come true
I came to fade in this church yard
Without prayer, hope or clue
A bounty hunter on my tail
Or any other bugaboo
So once you don't find on me neither silver nor gold
What will you report to your vicious chief
God bless the starry-eyed liar
And his sidekick, clumsy thief
God bless the starry-eyed liar
And his sidekick, that clumsy thief
Oh, Peggy sue
Oh, Peggy sue
Lets paint this town red tonight
And do what lovers do
Oh, Peggy sue
Oh, Peggy sue
I'm gonna tell you thousand lies
And each of them will come true
