He gets the mean reds She gets the grey blues She's pa**ive on pills He's vicious on booze She likes the late movie He likes the late news She smiles when she's sad He sneers when he's gay They don't seem to care that They've nothing to say She just reads lots of books While he plays games that pay She says "What the hell dear The fact is we're here Let's live the lie of love Let's live the lie of love" She needed his strength He needed her fear She's scared of the dark He's scared that he's queer She's into wine He prefers beer He likes latest Models They let him pretend They never make waves They never say when While she traffics in tough guys Who say they're real men They come home and swear It won't happen again They live the lie of love They live the lie of love He gets the mean reds She gets the grey blues She's pa**ive on pills He's vicious on booze She likes the late movie He likes the late news He says "We've got nothing to gain Still we've nothing to lose Let's live the lie of love Let's live the lie of love."
