In the west of town there's no promised land And if you can get that through your head then fine And if you want me to be honest with You can ask me and I'll tell you everything And if you want to know a lie Then I'll tell you a lie If you want to know the truth Then I'll tell you Oh when you're coming up for air And you think there's someone there No you won't see me 'Cos I'm faster than you think As the world flies by and I close my eyes To empty office buildings and the five-a-side Where the air is thin in the morning light If I'm on this road I'm gonna wait again And if you want to know a lie Then I'll tell you a lie If you want to know the truth Then I'll tell you Oh when you're coming up for air And you think there's someone there No you won't see me 'Cos I'm faster than you think If you want the truth then just ask me I will give it to you but you won't like it much And if that's okay then we'll get on fine And if not then we can call it quits And if you want to know a lie Then I'll tell you a lie If you want to know the truth Then I'll tell you Oh when you're coming up for air And you think there's someone there No you won't see me 'Cos I'm faster than you think And if that's okay then we'll get on fine And if not then we can call it quits
