lyrics

Sorry I couldn't be your everything
Sorry I couldn't be there
Now when I need to hold you near to me
Seems that you vanish to air,
Thin air...

I want to send you a postcard
I want to write you a letter
Can't really think of what to write
Know it won't make things better,
Oh no...

White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little lie
White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little liar

White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little lie
White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little liar

Yeah...
You're a liar
A liar, yeah, oh...

I called you up on the telephone
Your voice had charmed me so
But then we start on bickering
Once an angel now a ghost...

A bit like catching butterflies
I lacked a gentle touch
Crumbling now to dust
Was there anything I loved so much?

White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little lie
White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little liar

White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little lie
White lie, black fly
She's my dirty little liar...

Yeah, oh yeah
She's my dirty little liar
She's my dirty little lie, oh yeah
She's my dirty little liar

Yeah, (such/you're) a liar
You're a liar,
You're a liar
Well, A liar
A little liar
Such a liar
Such a liar
Little liar

She's my dirty little lie (Well I do say, you sir, are very happy)
She's my dirty little liar (Happy, happy, happy, you sir are very happy)
She's my dirty little lie (Sometimes sad, very happy)
She's my dirty little liar (Who's that? Is that a rabbit, who's very happy?)

Yeah, you're a liar, yeah yeah (Tumbling down the rabbit hole, Into a skunky mole)
She's my dirty little liar (All full of salad bowl, dressed with dressings, full of tothes)

(Slithering with the marmy flows, and trifles in a bubble skull...)
