We never look good in photographs
We never look good in photographs
So we decided to do our best
And put on a smile like no one ever has
It's only a question of your eyesight
It's what you make of your eyesight
Believe me that not even the darkest night
Could ever be as dark as the back of your eyes
[Chorus]
Show me some lies, show me some lies
Take me to the opera
Show me some lights, show me some lies
Take me to the opera tonight
Take me to the opera tonight
Take me to the opera
[x2]
We burn our books on page ninety-one
We burn our books on page ninety-one
If the ending is sad we won't read on
And just imagine a happy one
[Chorus]
Show me some lies, show me some lies
Take me to the opera
Show me some lights, show me some lies
Take me to the opera tonight
Take me to the opera tonight
Take me to the opera tonight
We fall in love with water-snakes
We fix it with glue when our hearts break
We drink as much as we can take
And then make the best of our head-aches
[Chorus]
Show me some lies, show me some lies
Take me to the opera
Show me some lights, show me some lies
Take me to the opera
Show me some lies, show me some lies
Take me to the opera
Show me some lights, show me some lies
Take me to the opera tonight (x5)
