White Lies

Dreams of passion filled within my mind Screams of Satanic laughter in my soul We lost touch long ago You lost weight I did not know You could look so fine after all this time Remember those days hanging out at the village pier I shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain Not having you in my arms was driving me insane Days with fun with Pop rocks & bottle tops Sneakers in the high school gym It used to mean something to hold open the car door for your lover A great sense of respect has taken a back seat for temporal lust In a fast paced world in quite a bit of rush The white lies that you told have taken root & grown We used to make out in the back seat of my car Danced until our hearts content down at our neighborhood bar White lies of crazy money coming in Now its best to hold our breath & take it all in Yet we have come this close not to turn back now Why turn back when your hands on the plow Cause sugar is sweet so sweet like honey Now its up to me to take home the money Just holding our own after all these years Cheap beers & the tears flowing down from our faces Have to settle for a pair of Goodwill sneakers with those funny laces Life is a trip so try to take it all in Learn from your mistakes a good way to begin Gave my heart to Jesus had to forfeit my sin We are but mice stuck in a cage looking for escape thinking we got it made Be brave & hold your head up to the sky Follow the golden rule so read your books & stay in school But you say that's not to cool White lies come & then they go White lies come & then they go Get the beats straight & increase the tempo
