Little Feat - I'd Be Lyin' lyrics

Slippin' on down into my easy chair All the channel changes in the world out there Rag and bone man is shoutin' the news And you know i'll believe it If you say that it's true Still sittin' here watchin' as it all goes by A thousand angles of our darkest side A typical day, mind closed up in a box Don't the world go ‘round The writing's on the wall Pre chorus But the lines are all a mess Horizontal ripples in a vertical stream Any resemblance, living or dead Is accidental, nothings as it seems Chorus: I'd be lyin', if i didn't ask why I'd be lyin', if i let it go by I could say it makes no difference how i try But i, i'd be lyin' There's no end to the means, a means to an end When all you have is yourself as a friend An angel's there, swept beneath your heart The world before you You can't look in it's face Moiré lights turn day for night The blue dog singin' in the same blue rain There's a lot in life i let slip away It was compromise through idle eyes Stretch your mind, not your hand Makin' a list as you walk back the cat I'd be dealin' in the wind
