That Tired Tired Lie

by Nick Jaina

now you are part
of that tired tired lie
and all that you can do
is just throw it back at me and Tom
I, I was part
of that tired tired lie
now that I am done
I'm never going to tell it again

I've been riding buses
I've been riding buses
I've been on the great Salt Lake

when we first met
the spark was so dangerous
now that we are through
it's just another way to pay the rent
there's fortune in your hills
and you're just giving it away
and I'm supposed to pretend
like you're falling on some noble sword

I don't take the trains, no
I don't take the trains
the trains they're always running late

now you are part
of that tired tired lie
I was part
I was part I was part I was part of that
tired tired lie
