"How To Beat The Lie Detector" lyrics
Things were better when we were cartoons
Days would pass right through us
Our outlines wouldn't change
But it's okay babe
There's still money to be made
Just gotta stay up
But the judge tells me that I'm going down
So I play to the jury for it's in their hands
They steal everything to play
For I know I'm a betted man
Put your money on me
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to find out where you are
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to get to where you are
The seeds take root in my belly it seems
And from out of my mouth, the apple tree screams
"Oh Thomas how could I hate you
We just got lost in our own private rainbow"
He says it's been a rather full-on day
But when I press him to dive out
He obfuscates
When I try to stand my ground
He triangulates on me
So I take him to the trapdoor at the end of a road
And before he works it out
I put him in and I just hope that he's in one of his playful moods tonight
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to find out where you are
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to get to where you are
Oh oh oh oh
I can wrong the seven twice
Oh oh oh oh
I can disregard your good advice
Ah ah ah ah
I can still make your flowers bloom
That is if you really want me to
Darling, I got carried away
These days it's easier to stay in make-believe
And I didn't mean to protect [?] you at your event
But if I don't be the purpose [?] then I don't get depressed
It's insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)
It's insane
Darling, I must confess
I've been drinking to excess
I've been smoking to manage the stress
I've been sensing your unrest
But we're doing okay, better than the rest
I'm still down for forever if you need to ask
It's insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)
It's insane
Darling, I've made a mess
If I send you my location can you pick me up
Just promise not to ask this place that you don't know
We can sit in silence, like the wall and stone
Oh I didn't mean to make a scene in front of your friends
But whenever I catch the headlines I get so distressed
It's insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)
It's insane (trying to keep ahead of the beat)
(Trying to keep ahead of the beat)
(Trying to keep ahead of the beat)
Days would pass right through us
Our outlines wouldn't change
But it's okay babe
There's still money to be made
Just gotta stay up
But the judge tells me that I'm going down
So I play to the jury for it's in their hands
They steal everything to play
For I know I'm a betted man
Put your money on me
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to find out where you are
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to get to where you are
The seeds take root in my belly it seems
And from out of my mouth, the apple tree screams
"Oh Thomas how could I hate you
We just got lost in our own private rainbow"
He says it's been a rather full-on day
But when I press him to dive out

Walk through walls to find out where you are
So I walk through doors
Walk through mirrors
Walk through walls to get to where you are
