The Narcissist Cookbook
Learning to Lie
[Intro]
A- one, two three
[Verse 1]
Shut all the curtains and keep the dark in
Let's get started on all those mistakes
I hear heaven is full
But hell will eat just about anything
[Verse 2]
Tell that lucky young soldier who died of exposure
Now sipping on goblets of milk and ambrosia
Try telling her that her death needed closure
[Chorus]
But don't write me off yet
I'm still learning to lie
I'll pick you up when your battery dies
I'd never survive on my own
[Verse 3]
I had a dream about the end of the word
The stormclouds were gathering fast
While armies of arseholes built marvelous castles
[Verse 4]
Now dreams don't mean much
They're just how our brains catalogue data we've gathered
They don't really matter at all
I don't really know why I mentioned it
[Verse 5]
If money and power were infectious diseases
The cure would be freely distributed
Jesus, you know that you're dead when they withhold your meds
You know that you're dead when they withhold your meds
[Chorus]
But don't write me off yet
I'm still learning to lie
I'll pick you up when your batteries die
I'd never survive on my own
I'd never survive on my own
I'd never survive on my own
