He burnt down the house one night 
He had a loaded sixpack gun 
He said that jesus christ was just like a cop 
You know you never know when they'll come 
She said every day above ground 
Was another dream come true 
He said I'd hang and swap cliches all night 
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious 
Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back

On the lie 

He said man you want to be Elvis 
I said I ain't dying face down 
He said you've got to die facing up in the world 
Cause there's too many holes around 
He asked what was wrong with me 
He said I looked like a hollywood girl 
I said that hollywood can fall into the ocean, man 
Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And I never got serious 
Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back

On the lie
