Testo Lie detector test Sage Francis

Lie detector test

got a caveman banging on my back door.
got a hang man hanging on my front lawn.
got an old maid wasting away in the living room.
kids in the kitchen with their mouths full of silver spoons.
got a paper full of yellow journalism.
a restaurant waiter selling me words of wisdom.
the small town crier is chilling with the village idiots.
the big city slickers are still busy building pyramids.
got a diploma but no wall to hang it.
tags on the bathroom stall to make me famous.
a job description that don't fit the bill.
a fatal femme fatale dressed to kill.
get me out of this...lie detector test.
my pupils inhale and exhale.
my breath is a microphone check. 1, 2, what is this?
in a world where the girl's got retro tatoos
and all i've got is a gut and velcro black shoes
and elbows that move in a way that make space
i'm looking at you. (stay awake, stay awake).
natural face affected by the chemical leaks.
grammatical mistakes in every sentence i speak.
it doesn't matter, i make enough sense to seem deep.
now look at me. (go to sleep, go to sleep).

got a flea circus, i'm trying to take it to the road.
got a nervous tick, they think i'm faking it though.
got some cat in a back alley scratching up my records.
some big wigs with fat bellies asking for seconds.
got a fly girl with a landing strip begging for hot wax.
a lonely upper lip and it's begging for a mustache.
a prison system that listens to the parables of johnny cash.
a wannabe war hero who only travels in body bags.

i've got a poor man's version of a rich man.
i've got a small van swerving through a big land.
i've got a road map that's looking a lot like a math test.
a blocked phone number and a bunk home address.
i've got a way out but i ain't trying to use it,
'cause i've got some ins and i'mma bet all my winnings.
if it hurts me more than it hurts you, then i won't hurt you.
i've got more sense than virtue.
i've got a curfew. it's 12 o'clock.

after that, i'll start trembling if i get fed hiphop.
'cause i'm a g to the r-e-m-l-i-n.
if i wasn't then why would i say i am?
i said get me out of this...lie detector test.
my pupils inhale and exhale.
my breath is a microphone check. 1, 2, what is this?
