I can lie, I really can
With finesse and sleight of hand
Chase the wind; wink my eye;
Inhalin'; born to win; feelin' fine

I can lie without distress
I can lie to heaven, no less
Cheat my wife; say my line;
Brunette hair; I don't care; feelin' fine

Don't say I'm guilty; I'm not in over my head
I might be guilty, but one thing's for certain; one thing's for sure:

I can lie while under oath
Fooling Starr and myself, both
Without remorse; leave it behind;
On the air; here and there; feelin' so fine

Don't say I'm guilty; I'm not in over my head
I might be guilty, but one thing's for certain; one thing's for sure

My lofty ego 'bove the law; we're safe from you-know-who
We're hiding here, just out of sight; the calm before the storm
When all at once it dawned on me with whom I'm not supposed to be
Hair of black, her lips of red--I'm where the angels fear to tread
And I feel like I've lost my way

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round we go
I've lost all sense of my position
These adolescent trysts have gone too far
Growing fears of retribution
What was I thinking to have even tried?
Help me annihilate this foolish pride where Dick Nixon died

I do the act of my volition; rationalize it as my right
Save my seat in the cigar section; close the door and kill the light
I wake up in the well of Congress, where truth or dare is how they play
I'm spinnin', I'm spinnin'--"Somebody, stop me!"--feel my pain and rue the day
No, no, no, get out of my nightmare
Don't convict; I'll repent; I'll take a vow
I'll resist temptation; I promise here and now
You see, it all started when I was younger
They said I was good; I thought they said great
I crown myself the king of liars
I am what I have learned to hate
