Why would you what me to lie?
Why do you keep me on the bent and wide?
'Said the truth don't take you nowhere
Well, it's my ticket to ride
Why would you want me to lie?
As if you need another tie that binds
Not that you'd know freedom if it spit in your eye
Watered down in the reeks and the wrecks
I'm hung up like a payphone
Information, please, don't take that tone
Ooo ooo ahh ahh
Why would I want you to cry?
It gets sweeter in the by and by
May the circle be unbroken
Lest it's fitting too tight
Why would I want you to cry?
As if I need another tear to dry
Words can't be unspoken but I'm willing to try
Watered down in the reeks and the wrecks
I'm hung up like a payphone
Information, please, don't take that tone
Ooo ooo ahh ahh
Watered down in the reeks and the wrecks
I'm hung up like a payphone
Information, please, don't take that tone
Ooo ooo ahh ahh
But if the truth don't make it better
We should probably die and come back to life
If the truth don't make it better
We should probably die and come back to life
