lyrics

when i rode on down the road
that day so long ago
i felt a binding impulse
that caught you in the snow
and can you even wash out
all that red and ruddy sin?
or would you try to suffer
for my rusting star of tin
never mind the flames
as they clean your dried out heart
it'll never leave you wondering
on where or when to start

honesty is your biggest lie
a truth that big you cannot deny
when all these lights go out
you'll go down in history
as our biggest doubt

well sunday morning breathes
down a collar or two
but never mind it ma'am
you're not the kind to think things through
your life is like a saturday
that never seems to end
until you're all passed out
and laying naked around the bend
all the people laugh
as though they don't try to escape
with a camera on their shoulder
but with nothing to tape

honesty is your biggest lie
you'll never know what
you're leaving behind
that desert
that desert has no drought
and you're going down in history
as our biggest doubt

round 3:15 i went to stab
that lying bastard son
i heard the ides of march
ringing in an old black gun
that fell with a crash
through the glass that held our hopes
and then we fell ourselves
with our necks inside the ropes
laughing all along i spied
a growing crowd of suits
and they sold all their ideals
for a cold collective bruise

and honesty is your biggest lie
a truth so false
that you cannot deny
all the dead red words
that fell out of your mouth
proved your place in history
as our biggest doubt
