Nine Lies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the beginning there was a word
and the word just floated in space.
In the beginning there was a word
and the word just floated in space.
Everybody say yeah (Yeah) ah how
yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Whenever I got to play the fool
you're going down, misunderstood
and now no sign to break my path
there’s no way out
who’ll pay my debt?
Now I’m plagued by you.
I wont play by the rules,
cause I’m, crazy for you.
I wont play by the rules.
There’s no way out
you're going my way
you're going down you walked away
and now no sign to break my path
there’s no way out for you.
I'm out for you!
We're gonna see it’s gone away.
No longer looking under pain.
And now no sign to break my path.
There’s no way out,
Who’ll pay my debt?
And now I’m plagued by you.
I won’t play by the rules,
cause I’m, crazy for you.
I’ll get my way with a gun.
There’s no way out
you're going my way
you're going down you walked away
and now no sign to break my path
there’s no way out.
I'm out for you!
We're gonna see it’s gone away.
No longer looking under pain.
And now no sign to break my path.
There’s no way out,
Who’ll pay my debt?
And now I’m plagued by you.
I won’t play by the rules,
cause I’m, crazy for you.
I won't play by the rules.
There’s no way out
you're going my way
you're going down you walked away
and now no sign to break my path
there’s no way out.
There’s no way out
you're going my way
you're going down you walked away
and now no sign to break my path
there’s no way out for you.

you're going down you walked away
