can we listen? can we talk? can we walk around the block? can we solve our problems with words instead of rocks? can we listen? can we talk? are we able to be free? can we plant a garden without a Poison Tree?
can we listen? can we talk? can we ever be certain it's not a big lie not the man behind the curtain?
can we listen? can we talk? can we walk around the block? can a man have an opinion without losing his job?
can we listen? can we talk? frustration festers below keep it out in the sun and let your flower grow
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
