We drink ourselves to sleep The company we keep intoxicates us beyond belief We lay backwards in bed and pray for a peace to chase our revelry at least A world of words unfurls and every one's such work and every night's a hollow light We lie half the time We lie half the time The ghosts of Cuba Road relocate to my place apartment south of grace they keep the pace of cars and waltz around the windows and fall in front of all these bars and i'm just feeling spent what with all the rent and (not to mention) exorcism We lie half the time We lie half the time Who let our spirit come down? Calm down Who let my spirit come down? Calm down Who let our spirit come down? Calm down Calm down So where's the boy in me who hates the man I am? that cares if no one calls And where's the harmony that rattles in the teeth? that clicks off one, two, three We lie half the time We lie half the time
