lies lyrics

Yesterday I spent an hour
A full hour in therapy
My favourite doctor landau
My God I hate his breath

He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers doctor like
Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies

I told him all my nightmares
Were dead and gone
"these days I sleep like a baby
And there never ever was a "them"

He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers doctors like

The doctor looked at my eyes
Landau: "no trace of insanity
Maybe the time is right now
To have a visit from the family
I'm thinking of your mother
What does my little patient say? "

I should have taken his stethoscope
And then forced it down his throat
My mother was at stake
So I behaved

That night I cleaned the entire house
For everything but the memories
No dust, no tea, ah stupid me
I even took the axe away
The sun is up and it's time for bed
I'm so tired
I can't wait no more
