Píseň: Long Time Lie

Interpret:
Depeche Mode
Album:
B - Sides
It's been a while since you did something 
Not so long since you complained 
You sit around and doing nothing 
Every day 


You're the coward who points the finger 
I understand that I'm helping you 
You have delusions in some space-out fantasy 
That's what you do 


He loves to wallow in the glory 
Loves to cut you down to size 
Try to make you believe in all of his lies 


It's been a long long long long long long time 
It's been a long long long long long long time 
A long time lie 


Don't you never look in the mirror 
Don't you know there'se so much more 
Locked up inside that box behind your door 


All your twisted conversations 
When you're sitting all alone 
Just remember we know your secret 
While you moan 


He loves to wallow in the glory 
Loves to cut you down to size 
Try to make you believe in all his lies 


It's been a long long long long long long time 
It's been a long long long long long long time 
A long time lie
