  • I heard the truth was built to bend
    A mechanism to suspend
    The guilt is what you will require
    And still you've got to dance little liar

    Just like those fibs to pop and fizz
    And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz
    And you're bound to trip
    And she'll detect the fiction on your lips and dig a contradiction up

    And the clean coming will hurt
    And you can never get it spotless
    When there's dirt beneath the dirt
    The liar take a lot less time

    I'm sure it's clear and plain to read
    It's not an alibi you need just yet
    Oh, no, it's something for those beads of sweat
    Yes, that will get you back to normal

    And after you have dabbed the patch
    You'll breathe and then proceed to scratch
    The varnish off that newly added calmness
    So as not to raise any alarms too soon

    And the clean coming will hurt
    And you can never get it spotless
    When there's dirt beneath the dirt

    The liar takes a lot less time to decide on his saunter
    Have you got itchy bones?
    And in all your time alone
    Can you hack your mind being riddled
    With the wrong memories?

    And the clean coming will hurt
    And you can never get it spotless
    When there's dirt between the dirt Writer/s: Alex Turner
