The Big Fib
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello my friend what have you done?
What else is here when you are gone?
You know your taste is quite as good
As something that reminds me like it should
It´s all been said, it´s all been done
With 15 channels you can reach the sun
Don´t stop and let her watch you crawl
Don´t lift it up
You´ll rise before you´ll fall

What have you done?
What have you said?
Why they have gone?
I didn´t see you though you are there
I didn´t see that you really care.

Hang on it hurts to hear these words
The nails you stick around the curse
I´m not afraid to clean the mess
You have better to do I guess
You´ve dragged your feet to cross the street
Your head is high, your lies are sweet
I didn´t know which games were left to play
But I´m on my way

What have you done?
What have you said?
Why they have gone?
I didn´t see you though you are there
I didn´t see that you really care.
What have you said?
I couldn´t hear
Why I feel sad
When you´re not here?
Why do I see myself instead?




Why do I see myself instead?
Why I feel dead?
