Big White Lies

Somebody asked me if the sun was really shining
and if it's different if I stand next to you
If you can stand in the sun
Listen and worship the sun

Of course I can't explain the force of the sea
A poisoned power with a will to be free
Yet it prays up and down to the sun
While you sway up and down like the moon

Fool my eyes with illusion
Set the clock with my hands
tied to my head in the sand

Big White Lies in the sunny skies
(Big White Lies, White Lies)
Darkness surrounding my head
(Round my head)
I'm alright when I'm in the light
(I'm alright, all right)
Black on white brings truer sight ahead
(I'm ahead)

The talk I make encounters trouble every minute
The story doesn't move as fast as before
the pitch impossible I see and won't admit it
The underground is shaking down to the core
and I won't crawl into the earth
Just burn me up with the earth

Big White Lies in the sunny skies
Darkness surrounding my head
I'm alright when I'm in the light
Black on white brings truer sight ahead

I'm bowing down and bowing the strings of disgrace and delight
I break the silence and bring the daybreak back to the light
solo

I'm warming up to thoughts I never thought I'd dream of
Somebody asked me if this house is on fire
You can't start the fire in my room Until you lasso the moon
Fool the crowd with confusion, promising a dock to the Land
Dying with the Head of command

Big White Lies in the sunny skies
Darkness surrounding my head
I'm alright when I'm in the light
Black on white brings truer sight, truer sight ahead.
