Poor Old Lu - Lie, Lie, Lie lyrics

'Lie, Lie, Lie' hearkens back to those great songs of the '70's... or atleast it's supposed to. The track begins with a horrendous buzz and background noise. All just part of the special sound. We brought in Dave Sprinkle (yes, Aaron and Jesse's dad) as well as our youth pastor, Craig Finley, to sing background vocals. Lastly, we added a good 'clap' track to round it out Intended to tell a story, it starts with a typical person who is tired of the day-to-day grind and sets out to find something more fulfilling. In the process they leave behind all the things they've grown up believing. The bridge is the turn around point where our subject ends up in a hotel room, alone and confused, and finally turns to the Lord. The last verse completes the turn-around, focusing not just on the quick fix but setting sights on Christ in all things Tired of seven hours a day And weekends that go too fast I set my sights on boardwalk streets And a sunset that will last I grabbed my coat and told my friends That i was going away Just a few long miles and a few good smiles And i'll have my love today Ohh, lie, lie, lie Why must i look so hard? Ohh, lie, lie, lie Must i be so far? Intent on a life that is what i dream I set out to be free Turned my check on my beliefs With whatever in front of me Sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope' And 'hey man, you got to be good' But if i want i'll sit and stare All day at the clouds like i wished i could And just for tonight A place to rest my head My syes were heavy But i found no peace in this bed With the silence around I felt so alone again Well, i closed my eyes with lifted hands And i fell to my knees instead Tired of tears and a broken heart And love that fades too fast I set my sights for golden streets And a joy that will ever last...
