Lyrics

Lies, lies!

Turn your back on me again
Do you trust me, my friend?
So I see that you lie
I won't believe you this time

We stand before the public's eyes
Telling all those stupid lies
What have I done to you
Who believes your stories?
'Cause they're not true

Tongue of fire
Telling all those lies and ???
You can't feel
Tongue of fire
Walk through the flame
And have you no shame?
You can't feel

I see you're back in town
You'll always be around
You should have stayed away
You left me by myself
Go bother someone else
Now there's a price you gotta pay

Tongue of fire
Telling all those lies and ???
You can't feel
Tongue of fire
Walk through the flame
And have you no shame?
You can't feel

Played with fire
Believe the liar
Took my heart
???

???
Taking advantage of sin
Looking for some sort of easy ???
Looking out from deep within

Shame on me ???
???
Cryin' out for mercy
You haven't seen anything yet

You can't feel

Lies, lies!

I see you're back in town
You'll always be around
You should have stayed away
You left me by myself
Go bother someone else
Now there's a price you gotta pay
