You'll Have To Lie, To Be Honest

Burn the evidence before you go to sleep tonight
burn the evidence before you go to sleep tonight
don't forget to dream
make an alibi that sits inside your heart
and lies enough for honesty

i don't think you know
just how far they're willing to go
to catch us in the act
where were you last night
cause you sure as hell were not with me
i was home asleep
are you starting to get the picture
its a little bit bigger than we knew
what we stepped into

i don't really know the whole situation
but i know enough to know we're in danger

burn the evidence before you go to sleep tonight
don't forget to breathe
make an alibi that sits inside your heart
and lies enough for honesty

some things are worth lying for
if you're prepared to live with the threat
to the bitter end
so kiss me one last time
to my quivering nervous neck
as you sell it to me

i don't really know the whole situation
but i know enough to know we're in danger

burn the evidence before you go to sleep tonight
don't forget to dream
make an alibi that sits inside your heart
and lies enough for you and me

come on and take this secret
come on take this secret to your grave with me
burn the evidence, make an alibi
take it, take it, take it
