Okkervil River - Pop Lie l l l x2 all sweetly sung and succinctly stated words and music he calculated to make you sing along with your stereo on as you stand in shorts on your lawn get completely incorporated by some couple who consummated all their love by the dawn a falling star wished upon that flashed in the sky and was gone and mouths wet and blonde hair braided by the back room the kids all waited to meet the man in bright green who had dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon he’s the liar who lied in his pop song and you’re lying when you sing along yes you’re lying when you sing along l l l x2 so here’s the car seat so cruelly weighted and here’s to faces already faded at the end of a day when they just threw away the only good thing that they owned and now they’re pinned down and strangula---ted at the food court the float’s inflated people line up to see the man who dreamed up the dream that they wrecked their hearts upon he’s the liar who lied in his pop song the liar who lied in his pop song and you’re lying when you sing along, oh yeah you’re lying when you sing along week by week it climbs up and climbs on and we’re feeling all right but we know it’s all wrong I’m ashamed to admit that I cannot resist what I wish were the truth but it’s not and I truly believe we’re not strong and we’ll sing until our voices are gone and then sink beneath the manicured lawn l l l x2 This is respectfully dedicated to the woman who concentrated all of her love to find that she had wasted it on the liar who lied in this song
