It's a fake, it's a hoax It's a nowhere road where no one goes Anywhere, anyhow Well you're following your heart rate down She's a rose, she's a queen But she's staring at a magazine In the dark, on that path Where they doctor every photograph [Chorus:] Another is waiting She isn't saying anything If you care, if you like Well, I'm standing in the lantern light With our weapons and our love And I use them both to cover up [Chorus] But I love you and I care So you've got to get off that conveyor belt If I could I would come right in and take you off myself It's a fake, it's a con The nature of the road you're on Let me see your skeleton Well before your life is done [Chorus x2]
