We never look good in photographs We never look good in photographs So we decided to do our best And put on a smile like no one ever has It's only a question of your eyesight It's what you make of your eyesight Believe me that not even the darkest night Could ever be as dark as the back of your eyes [Chorus] Show me some lies, show me some lies Take me to the opera Show me some lights, show me some lies Take me to the opera tonight Take me to the opera tonight Take me to the opera [x2] We burn our books on page ninety-one We burn our books on page ninety-one If the ending is sad we won't read on And just imagine a happy one [Chorus] Show me some lies, show me some lies Take me to the opera Show me some lights, show me some lies Take me to the opera tonight Take me to the opera tonight Take me to the opera tonight We fall in love with water-snakes We fix it with glue when our hearts break We drink as much as we can take And then make the best of our head-aches [Chorus] Show me some lies, show me some lies Take me to the opera Show me some lights, show me some lies Take me to the opera Show me some lies, show me some lies Take me to the opera Show me some lights, show me some lies Take me to the opera tonight (x5)
