Nick Mason - Lie For A Lie Lyrics

(Fenn, Mason, Peyronel)

A game's a game I hear you say
Enough emotion in a day
We'll never live enough to play
I hear you say

You make the way you make the moves
Giving clues about the rules
But there's no way to warn the fools
They're only fools

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth

So let the fire within me burn
You know something I should learn
But I don't know which way to turn
Still I turn

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth

And when the flame begins to go
I'll be there inside the door
You'll never know that I care more
Than I can show

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth
