I walk down the diamond-studded concrete canyons Nobody looked me in the eye Tried to fly to the moon Only made it to the sky I was looking for an undying truth That had a single friend And I'm searching for a clear connection Without a digital send Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true I'll find you smiling about Things you don't have to do Things you don't have to do Bill, doesn't call me anymore I hear, he's found religion He's watchin' Benny Hinn With big blonde-haired apprentice beautician All the words and gesticulations that came before They don't seem to mean a thing You can feel fine to drop a dime If you're ever hanging by a string Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true Find you smiling about Things you don't have to do Things you don't have to do I hear voices cryin' out Echoes on the boulevard Contentious rambling incantations Of some senile bard There's too much goin' on around here To keep my head from spinning And this constant acceleration Blurs any ties to the beginning Ain't it just a little scary sometimes To find the lies that you know to be true I'll find you smiling about Things you don't have to do Things you don't have to do Things you don't have to do Things you don't have to do
