Liar's Nightmare (Live at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, Sept. 1993) - Graham Nash[00:00:00]
I have always been here[00:00:14]
And I'll always be there[00:00:17]
I can honestly tell you[00:00:21]
That I really don't care[00:00:24]
If all the babies are broken[00:00:28]
And the old folks are blind[00:00:32]
There's a hole in my heart[00:00:37]
But I know you don't mind[00:00:39]
If I laugh at the cripples[00:00:42]
And I cry for the clowns[00:00:46]
And I welcome the madness[00:00:50]
That I see coming down[00:00:53]
And I have no opinions[00:00:57]
So I feel no remorse[00:01:01]
I can see the Black Knight[00:01:04]
Riding up on his horse[00:01:08]
And there's fire in his nostrils[00:01:11]
And blood in his eyes[00:01:15]
And he's looking at you kid[00:01:18]
As he races on by[00:01:22]
So watch out for his hooves[00:01:26]
They're going to kill you for sure[00:01:29]
He's got some kind of sickness[00:01:33]
That no man can cure[00:01:35]
And his breath it will burn you[00:01:40]
And put out your eyes[00:01:43]
He'll tear out your tongues[00:01:47]
So you can't even cry[00:01:51]
That your body is broken[00:01:54]
And your spirit is dead[00:01:58]
And you hope against hope[00:02:02]
That it's a bad dream you had[00:02:05]
About a meeting with Elvis[00:02:09]
At the back of the store[00:02:12]
You're both shoveling plastic ware[00:02:15]
Right out of the door[00:02:19]
And the men who control you[00:02:23]
Keep yelling for more more more more[00:02:27]
You pay all your taxes But you don't know what for[00:02:31]
'Cos nothing seems to get better[00:02:37]
Things seem to get worse[00:02:41]
We're all living in danger[00:02:44]
From a politician's curse[00:02:48]
All promises have been broken[00:02:52]
All lips have been read[00:02:53]
Well the mouth has spoken[00:03:00]
But nothing's been said[00:03:02]
The dream has been shattered[00:03:05]
The flags have been burned[00:03:09]
You better make up your minds[00:03:12]
From whatever you've learned[00:03:16]
About your family values[00:03:20]
And the way they've been scorned[00:03:23]
Some babies have been battered[00:03:28]
Way before they've been born[00:03:29]
Some call me a liar[00:03:33]
Some call me a thief[00:03:37]
But the way that I look at things[00:03:41]
I can't get no relief[00:03:44]
So I went to a meeting[00:03:48]
Spoke out of fear[00:03:52]
They said Thank you for sharing[00:03:56]
Now why are you here[00:03:59]
I said everything's shaking[00:04:02]
Including myself[00:04:06]
I keep all my feelings[00:04:09]
High up on a shelf[00:04:13]
And I can't seem to reach them[00:04:16]
But I know they were there[00:04:20]
I'm trapped in this vacuum[00:04:25]
And I'm gasping for air[00:04:27]
Some people get better[00:04:30]
Some people just fall[00:04:34]
Some people rise above it[00:04:37]
Or so I've been told[00:04:42]
So I started to leave[00:04:44]
I was searching for more[00:04:48]
They caught a hold of my sleeve[00:04:53]
But I slipped through the door[00:04:55]
I ran back to the office[00:04:58]
With my back to the wall[00:05:02]
When I came to my senses[00:05:06]
I had no one to call[00:05:09]
So I called up the doctor[00:05:12]
He told me to lie[00:05:17]
He said Get out of this nightmare[00:05:21]
Or you surely will die[00:05:23]
So I forced myself to wake up[00:05:55]
And opened my eyes[00:05:59]
But the man in the mirror[00:06:02]
Was there in disguise[00:06:06]
He was playing his part[00:06:10]
Living in a trance[00:06:13]
Sentenced to be a witness[00:06:18]
'Cos he had no defense[00:06:20]
The anesthetic is wearing thin[00:06:23]
And you're starting to sweat[00:06:27]
And you finally realize[00:06:31]
That it ain't over yet[00:06:34]
'Cos the way you've been feeling[00:06:38]
They must have hit a nerve[00:06:42]
I know it's not what you want[00:06:46]
But it's what you deserve[00:06:48]
The operation is over[00:06:52]
Listen to me please[00:06:53]
I'm begging forgiveness[00:06:59]
Down on my knees[00:07:03]
Coming back to consciousness[00:07:07]
I was out of my head[00:07:10]
And the dream is over[00:07:14]
I'm back in my bed[00:07:17]
I have always been here[00:07:20]
And I'll always be there[00:07:24]
I can honestly tell you[00:07:27]
That I really do care[00:07:31]
I gotta tell you the truth[00:07:35]
About the sadness I find[00:07:38]
I have opened my heart to you[00:07:43]
And I hope you don't mind[00:07:47]
