to lay in wait for the lie

Can you lie if they lay down the law
Or lay in wait for the lie
Some play the ball where it lies
Amidst the eggs the hens lay
Some laze about while lying
Others lie in wait for what lies ahead
Denying that they got layed 
Because they are prone to lying

Or could you just lie in wait for the lay? Deniability in question.
