Written by George & Lou Lou Rosenthal


I’ve swallowed flies and all your lies

While your tall tales grow and grow

You’ve got your secrets to surprise

I’ve got a torn heart to sew


I’ve swallowed flies and all your lies

While your tall tales grow and grow

You’ve got your secrets to disguise

I’ve got a torn heart to sew


Well, rip out my tongue 

and put your words into my mouth

You’ve got some thing you wanna say

You and I both know that we have gone astray

You’re gonna save it for a better day


Don’t tell me I’m not being fair 

Just because I‘ve stopped trying to care


You’re rewarded for something that you never do

Smiling until you crack

They don’t wanna know where you’re coming from

Just as long as they get you back


Your laugh shatters glass

Your words shatter my smile

Isn’t this just how it all began


The clock keeps ticking

but you’ve already made your choice

The needles of your mind tear at my skin

You’ve pulled me apart from the very start

But I’ve held myself together from within


Don’t tell me that I’m full of shit 

Because you’re the one who started it


Well, rip out my tongue

and put your words into my mouth

You’ve got some thing you wanna say

You and I both know that we have gone astray

You’re gonna save it for a better day
