Pretty Lie (original song)

This is a song of mine from the album Blueprints, Plans called "Pretty Lie." Toni is rocking the Gibson and the harmonica and Andrew slays the upright bass while yours truly is weaving a tale of infidelity and self-deception. Enjoy!

Lyrics to Pretty Lie:

We started out with plans
and blueprints in our hands
we were gonna build a perfect love
but we got tangled in the wire
and our feet just got so tired
So we were this close to giving up

Now you've got this secret
and I really hope you keep it
'cause you know how I love the mystery
You're always coming late
from work every day
and I can tell by the way you look at me
I see

My, my, my what a pretty lie
no just don't stop now
will you take your time
'cause I like the way you look
when you don't think I know what you do
but I do
And oh sweet lord, what a dreadful bore
would my life be without your sweet whore
And the fiction of our love has always been enough for me, oh

Well I think that I'm addicted
to your artificial kisses
and oh I love the nervous way you stand
and all that added warmth
when you hold me in your arms
even though the heat is secondhand

'Cause you look so good, you look so new
in those clothes I didn't buy for you
and oh the way you lie it drives me mad
I've got a right to jealousy
and really this should bother me
but I don't care and you know I never have

My, my, my what a pretty lie
no just don't stop now
will you take your time
'cause I like the way you look
when you don't think I know what you do
but I do
And oh sweet lord, what a dreadful bore
would my life be without your sweet whore
And the fiction of our love has always been enough for me, oh

Let's rip some pages from these books
and never take a second look
string up all our facts upon a stake
and we will torch it through and through
and will watch the glaring truth
shrivel up and wither in the flames
and then we'll set the fiction free
running rampant in the streets
the sky will glow with all our brilliant lies
oh and maybe then I'll see
the truth, it doesn't bother me
and I will get to sleep again tonight
that's right

My, my, my what a pretty lie
no I won't stop now, I'll just take my time
'cause I, I like the way I look when nothing seems to bother me
and I see that
oh hot damn, what a fool I am
just play it cool when it's everything
and the fiction of our love has never been enough for me, I see

Do do do do do do do do
