Bright Eyes - False Advertising lyrics
On a string
 On a string
 On a string
 I was held
 The way I moved, can you tell
 My actions are orchestrated from above
 And so I swing and I sway
 Wave my hand, kick my leg
 And it's always right with the music
 (katie and tiffany: till all that swaying starts to make you sick)
 For a song, I was bought
 Now I lie, when I talk
 With a careful eye on the cue card
 Onto a stage, I was pushed
 With my sorrow well rehearsed
 So give me all your pity and your money now
 All of it
 (katie and tiffany: we used to think that sound was something pure)
 But if I could act like this was my real life
 And not some cage where I've been placed
 Well then I could tell you
 The truth like I used to
 And not be afraid of sounding fake
 Now all that anyone's listening for are the mistakesBright Eyes - False Advertising - http://motolyrics.com/bright-eyes/false-advertising-lyrics.html
 (katie: sorry!)
 No it's ok, it's ok
 One, two, three!
 One, two, three!
 In a house by myself
 I hear the ice start to melt
 And I watch the rooftops weep for the sunlight
 And I know what must change
 Fuck my face, fuck my name
 They are brief and false advertisements
 For a soul, I don't have
 Something true I have lacked
 I spent my whole life trying to make up for it
 But I found, in a song
 And in the people I love
 They will lift me up out of darkness
 And now my door
 It stands open, I'm inviting everyone in
 We're gonna laugh, we're gonna drink
 Until the morning comes
 That's what we're gonna do!
 Come on!
 Come on!
