Let the raining tear-drops rain down on me tonight I think making up, faking up stories is alright Tick tock stop the clock, fiction is my thing My attitude is always I and me and mine Oh I'm so clever, I'm so clever, I'm so clever Until my paranoia kicks in then I'll accuse her Of doing all the worst things I do best It's funny how me fucking her about Has got me in this fucking mess Liar liar liar liar pants on fire Lies alibis lies more alibis From the truth, I admit I'm more than shy Ain't it the times we are living in Everybody's doing it so why can't I? I tally up tonight's strangers And stragglers that I've kissed Training ground notches, perfectly executed notches And near misses It's all about going out and getting pissed with eagle eyes And sincerity bottom on my list What's the story morning glory? I feel so low and worthless, yeah So this is where the outcome unfurls and the truth is being told A cloud has gathered over my head and now I know Infidelity and my good friend ecstasy doesn't work, it makes you worse I'm feeling so guilty about the things I said to my mum when I was ten year old I'm feeling so guilty about any old shit And how I think my missus is fucking every guy that she looks at This is it, this is it, this is it, this is it The end was always coming and now it's here So this is the grande finale The crescendo of demise This is the happy ending Where the bad guy goes down and dies This is the end With me on my knees and wondering why? Cross my heart, hope to die It's my own cheating heart that makes me cry
