Paper Lies Lyrics - Singles - Marillion

Good morning! 

When you look into the mirror 

Do you see a face you hardly recognise 

If you look into the sun too long 

Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes 

Paper lies 

Just to express what he's thinking 

Must a man take all the mail will bring 

Are we living only for today 

It's a sign of the times 

We believe anything and nothing 

Paper lies 

When you kill the truth 

You can make a killing 

You might just make losing look like winning 

You came to tell the people what's goin' on 

But nobody knows whose side you're on 

Seems like you're sailin' pretty close to the wind again 

Paper lies 

You have already won a prize! 

I know something that you don't know 

Something that you ought to know 

It's burning a hole in my pocket book 

Listen ... do you want to know a secret? 

We can print our own money here 

If you let us do a piece on you 

We can take you to pieces 

When you look into the money 

Do you see a face you hardly recognise? 

When you get behind the news of the world 

Do the things you find begin to bend your mind? 

Paper lies 

Why don't you let us take a piece out of you?
