As Tall as Cliffs

I tell tales tall as cliffs

You've got a lisp

Kid, those things are hard to miss

Like my cripple cough

All your weekends lost by the lake

Where you said I needn't be afraid

Of all those devils on the wall

That make a fella small

When he's feelin' brave

They take his wine away

There were posters on the wall

I swear my mother saw

That I'd been up all night, up all night

And you came well-equipped

With a gun on your hip

And some poison on your lips

But when we wake up in our makeup

We'll be clean

And we won't have nowhere to be

Oh, but I can't talk to you

The way I've wanted to

I've been tellin' lies

But I'll tell you the truth

Oh, I can't talk to you

The way I've wanted to

I've been tellin' lies

But I'll tell you the truth

Darling, I'm tired

And I should be leaving, leaving

You know I'm tired

And I should be leaving, leaving tonight

Darling, I'm tired

And I should be leaving, leaving

You know I'm tired

And I should be leaving

And you'll hang like the rest

We'll leave a noose on the attorney's desk

And take to the streets

Chant like an army

And doctor up this disease
