I'd Be Lyin' - Little Feat

Slippin' on down into my easy chair

All the channel changes in the world out there

Rag and bone man is shoutin' the news

And you know i’ll believe it

If you say that it’s true

Still sittin' here watchin' as it all goes by

A thousand angles of our darkest side

A typical day, mind closed up in a box

Don’t the world go ‘round

The writing’s on the wall

Pre chorus

But the lines are all a mess

Horizontal ripples in a vertical stream

Any resemblance, living or dead

Is accidental, nothings as it seems

I’d be lyin', if i didn’t ask why

I’d be lyin', if i let it go by

I could say it makes no difference how i try

But i, i’d be lyin'

There’s no end to the means, a means to an end

When all you have is yourself as a friend

An angel’s there, swept beneath your heart

The world before you

You can’t look in it’s face

Moiré lights turn day for night

The blue dog singin' in the same blue rain

There’s a lot in life i let slip away

It was compromise through idle eyes

Stretch your mind, not your hand

Makin' a list as you walk back the cat

I’d be dealin' in the wind
