Shaking in the evening sun Counting all the times I run Trying to be honest Selfish from a point of view How'd it get away from me? Held up in the old Q.C Watching out the window Crying in my hotel room Oh I'll do anything that you want Except what you're wanting from me I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost Lying to you 'cause I'm lost Lying to you 'cause I'm lost My mother seems to know it all Sensed it from a distant call How's she so objective? Tell me how you really feel
And I was once a maker of my time A celebrated man of mind Always feels a dream until the real sets in Oh I'll be anything Except what you want me to be I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost Lying to you 'cause I'm lost Lying to you 'cause I'm lost So tell me darling what's it cost When I'm lying to you 'cause I'm lost? Lying to you 'cause I'm lost I'm lost, I'm lost I'll be anything I'll be anything Except what you want me to be
