We were sitting at the bar finishing our last drink
Talking like mature adults, and hormones did their thing
Run my hand under your dress and gently squeeze your thigh
You're wearing my wedding ring
I don't need an alibi

Now I know that cathode ray lies and steals
It pays no attention to the way that you feel

And I will pray without ceasing
I will play while unleashing
Sanities and the vanities
And the empty keep reaching
Hope to be brutal as I examine every motive
I will strain my soul to hear the words of love spoken

Honey, I've got visions of your flesh and more rolling around my brain
Hear angel voice choruses around each and every bend
When I come to you with my bleeding little heart in my hand
Tough time getting it off my sleeve, but I knew you'd understand

Now I know that asphalt highway lies and steals
It pays no attention to the way that you feel

I am stricken with malaise
I am smitten with the vapors
It defies all known description
Every current nomenclature
Given to excesses
Gross exaggerations
Manifold weaknesses
And diverse temptation

Now I know that James Earl Ray lies and steals
It pays no attention to the way that you feel
