Goo Goo Dolls - On The Lie lyrics

He burnt down the house one night He had a loaded six-pack 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 clichés 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 On the lie On the lie 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 On the lie On the lie On the lie On the lie, he was On the lie On the lie, she was On the lie On the lie, he was On the lie It's all been a stinkin' lie
