On The Lie - Goo Goo Dolls

He burnt down the house one night 
He had a loaded six-pack gun 
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop 
You know, you never know when they'll come 
She said every day above ground 
Was another dream come true 
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night 
But I'm not in love with you


And I never got serious 
'Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back


On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie


He said, man, you want to be Elvis 
I said I ain't dying face down 
He said you've got to die facing up in the world 
'Cause there's too many holes around 
He asked what was wrong with me 
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl 
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man 
'Cause it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world


And I never got serious 
'Til everything went black 
And I ain't so curious 
That I'm ever going back


On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie 
On the lie


On the lie, he was 
On the lie 
On the lie, she was 
On the lie 
On the lie, he was 
On the lie 
It's all been a stinkin' lie
