Marillion - Paper Lies lyrics

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer) When you look into the mirror Do you see a face you hardly recognise If you look into the sun too long Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes Paper lies Just to express what he's thinking Must a man take all the mail will bring? Are we living only for today It's a sign of the times ... we believe anything ... and nothing Paper lies When you k** the truth You can make a k**ing You might just make losing look like winning You came to tell the people what's goin' on But nobody knows whose side you're on Seems like you're sailin' pretty close to the wind again Paper lies You have already won a prize! I know something that you don't know Something that you ought to know It's burning a hole in my pocket book Listen ... do you want to know a secret? We can print our own money here If you let us do a piece on you We can take you to pieces When you look into the money do you see a face you hardly recognise? When you get behind the news of the world do the things you find begin to bend your mind? Paper lies Why don't ya let us take a piece outta you?
