Punch You In The Face
By Huey Lewis
The things that I need
I already had
Threw them away
In a garbage can
All that I want
Will I have to steal?
Try to remember
None of it's real
Kept in a casket
Things never lasted
Rain came along
Grew something tragic
It's not quite standard
I have something to hand her
Just a bit of light
Given off by a lantern
When I lay my lies
Let you decide
When I lay beside
I lay my lies.
