We were sitting at the bar
Finishing our last drink
Talking like mature adults
And hormones did their thing
And gently squeeze your thigh
You’re wearing my wedding ring
I don’t need an alibi
Now I know that cathode ray
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel
And I will pray without ceasing
I will play while unleashing Sanities and the vanities
And the empty keep reaching
Hope to be brutal
As I examine every motive
I will strain my soul
To hear the words of love spoken
Honey, I’ve got visions of your flesh
And more rolling around my brain
Hear angel voice choruses
Around each and every bend
When I come to you
With my bleeding little heart in my hand
Tough time getting it off my sleeve
But I knew you’d understand
Now I know that asphalt highway
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel
I am stricken with malaise
I am smitten with the vapours
It defies all known description
Every current nomenclature
Given to excesses
Gross exaggerations
Manifold weaknesses
And diverse temptation
Now I know that James Earl Ray
Lies and steals
It pays no attention
To the way that you feel
