Telling Lies

About Telling Lies

"Telling Lies" is a single by David Bowie written in 1996 and in 1997 released for the album Earthling. Three versions of "Telling Lies" were released on Bowie's official website beginning 11 September 1996 – one version was released for each of three weeks – constituting the first ever downloadable single by a major artist. According to issued press releases, over 300,000 people downloaded the original Internet-only release. Two months later, it was released as a single by BMG. Bowie launched the single with an online chat session, where he and two other people pretending to be him answered questions from the audience (Bowie told the truth; the other two "told lies"). The chat audience was asked to vote on which chat personality was the "real" Bowie; the "real" Bowie came in third. No music video was produced. more »

Telling lies

Gorgeous girls are bound to meet
To talk of stars and kings and feet
Through the chromosomes of space and time
Me I'm fast like bad infection
Gasping for my resurrection
Swear to me in times of war and stress

Telling lies

(Ooh ah visionary ooh ah visionary)
Telling lies
(Feels like something's gonna happen this year)
(Oh oh oh oh)

Telling lies
(Feels like something's gonna happen this year)
(Oh oh oh oh)

Telling lies

Shadow falls in shrinking smiles
See me poised at the happy games
Standing in the mouth of all that's pure
Come straggling in your tattered remnants
You come to me with tears and blame, I'm your future
Ask tomorrow, I am the end
