Lies

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

Yesterday I spent an hour

A full hour in therapy

My favourite Doctor Landau

My God I hate his breath



He asked me questions

That kind of fool deserves a lie

I gave him answers

The kind of answers Doctor like

Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies



I told him all My nightmares

Were dead and gone

"These days I sleep like a baby

and there never ever was a "THEM"



He asked me questions

That kind of fool deserves a lie

I gave him answers

The kind of answers Doctors like

The Doctor looked at My eyes

Landau: "No trace of insanity

maybe the time is right now

to have a visit from the family

I'm thinking of Your Mother

what does My little patient say?"



I should have taken his stethoscope

and then forced it down his throat

My Mother was at stake

So I behaved



Guitar solo PETE



That night I cleaned the entire house

For everything but the memories

No dust, no tea, ah stupid me

I even took the axe away

The sun is up and it's time for bed

I'm so tired

I can't wait no more
