Wild Long Lie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As he rails one again
And turns to me and says, “Imagine
Boris in here in full police gear the night?”
He said, “It’s tougher sentences, that’s what they’re trying
But we seen how that went down stateside, it didn’t fly”
[Verse 2]
It’s that time of the year again when your past comes home
And everybody I’ve ever known wants it large
Jimmy’s in my ear again with a motormouth
God, I love the kid, but we need to slow it down
Woah
[Chorus]
Back to the bathroom
Back to the call
For another wild, long lie
Back to the kitchen
Sprawlеd on the floor
For another wild, long lie
And I’ll tеll it all night
[Verse 3]
Everybody’s dying for their turn to
pull out anecdotes fraught with bloody lies
And I’ve gone quiet ’cause my heart
is still choking up from a love I tore apart
Oh, I’ve got so much pain here, yet so much love
But it’s drowning every inch of my soul
So, I go
[Chorus]
Back to the bathroom
I’ll line you up
For another wild, long lie
Back to the kitchen
Sprawled on the floor
For another wild, long lie
Back to the bathroom
I’ll line ’em up
For another wild, long lie
Back to the kitchen
Sprawled on the floor
For another wild, long lie
And I’ll tell it all night
[Bridge]
I think I need to leave this town
I think I need to leave this town
I think I need to leave this town
Before I go down
I think I need to leave this town
Before I go down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Back to the bathroom
I’ll line you up
For another wild, long lie
Back to the kitchen
Sprawled on the floor
For another wild, long lie
Back to the bathroom
I’ll line ’em up
For another wild, long lie
Back to the kitchen
Sprawled on the floor
For another wild, long lie
And I’ll tell it all night
[Instrumental Break: Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
And I’ll tell it all night
