I went to a cobbler To fix a hole in my shoe He took one look at my face And said, "I can fix that hole in you" I beg your pardon I'm not looking for a cure Seen enough of my friends In the depths of the godsick blues You know I am a liar You know I am a liar Nobody helps a liar Because I've been down to Dixie And dropped acid on my tongue Tripped upon the land Until enough was enough I was a little bit lighter And adventure on my sleeve I was a little drunk And looking for company So I found myself a sweetheart With the softest of hands We were unlucky in love But I'd do it all again We build ourselves a fire We build ourselves a fire But you know I am a liar You know I am a liar And you don't know what I've done Exactly where I was There was no simple cure For unlucky in love To be lonely is a habit Like smoking or taking drugs And I've quit them both But man, was it rough Now I am tired It just made me tired Let's build ourselves a fire Let's build ourselves a fire
