Lie, Lie, Lie Lyrics - Poor Old Lu

'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...
