With apologies to the good man behind the mask and to the unknown man that is the mask… This was fun in a Rio restaurant. No idea why we had this mask on hand.
You will find Liars and Lovers everywhere and on the Never Forever album
Liars and Lovers
Perhaps you can tell by now that the Human Species does not impress me. I suppose it is because I was raised in an environment in which the education system told us that WE were the top species in pretty much every way. As life chugs along, I find myself, via observations having to disagree. This is also an eclectic song with a disturbing message for y’all.
Liars and Lovers
Am Am G G x2
Am Am G G
Life is a tangled garden of liars and lovers
Am Am G G
Whose poisons and perfumes all vie for our senses
Am Am G G
With pockets full of rocks, we hope we will float
F F E E7
We cherish open ranges but, they’re strewn with hidden fences
Axle grease and asphalt make heavy fingerprints
Rust and decay flow from promises long broken
Darkness invites the desperate man’s hollow screaming
And tomorrow’s hopes are left unspoken.
C C G G
Liars and lovers mingle in the dance
Am Am E E
Every crowd is the same
C Fmaj7 F D
Neither flowers nor weeds ever stand a chance.
F E E7 Am Am
Battling to win seems to be our game.
Instrumental Verse
Eight billion actors wander the stage
Their trillion trivial acts clutter each day
We praise our Gods for failures and successes alike
While all our mistakes take others’ lives away
This tangled garden will never be tamed
Its roots and vines twist deeper by the day
“We are who we are”, noted the sage
“We will be who we have been. It is our way.”
Liars and lovers lurk among us
Both are laughing at the night
A liar and a lover both live in you and me
Neither will triumph in the fight.
If I will remember anything when I am through,
I need only that it be every moment I had with you.
If I leave anything behind at all,
F E E7 Am Am…..Eaug
I wish that it be your memories of me.
