Before the Truth puts on its pants
The Lie begins its grim advance
Honesty ain’t got a chance
The world is just a Devil’s Dance
I lived a lie called you and me
In a world that cannot be
So many things I could not see
Now I’m blessed with misery
Before the Truth puts on its pants
The Lie begins its grim advance
Honesty ain’t got a chance
The world is just a Devil’s Dance
Don’t believe your lying eyes
Don’t fall for tales from spooky spies
We’re running out of alibis
When murder falls down from the skies
Before the Truth puts on its pants
The Lie begins its grim advance
Honesty ain’t got a chance
The world is just a Devil’s Dance
Nations skid and empires fall
The crazy pity of it all
Don’t bang your head against the wall
When the Devils start to call
Before the Truth puts on its pants
The Lie begins its grim advance
Honesty ain’t got a chance
The world is just a Devil’s Dance

In the vagaries of time When Al Green explores your mind Just a kitten’s nursery rhyme Of a single chorus line Where the dancers hope to find Another dream of wealth and wine
All of the hippos at the zoo Have got a pebble in their shoe And the trickster’s happy crew Is eating crocodile stew The unicorns are dancing too With a song that's just for you
I found a refuge in your eyes Refreshment under rainy skies Where my stupidity is wise You were too sweet to realize Out of a world of better guys You really thought I was a prize
We played in the dirt And you wiggled off my shirt You were amusing for a while With your agonizing smile
Now it's back to your wife Your respectable life You can think of what we did When you're playing with your kids
My petunias are none of your business I don't care if you think they're looking nice My petunias are none of your business I won't make the same mistake twice
You’re a weasel and a whiner And a coward and a fool You sit on the council With the men who make the rules
It's a talky little town And the stories always flow I’m not really bothered By what they think they know
My petunias are none of your business Another man's gain will be your loss My petunias are none of your business Forget about my pumpkins and my squash
