  • I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain
    Drank with the devil and forgot my name
    Woke with somebody when the morning came
    No one there to shame me for my youth
    'Cause I wouldn't be with you

    And then I found me a lover who could play the bass
    He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't
    Spend the days dreaming and the nights awake
    Doin' things we know we shouldn't do
    'Cause I wouldn't be with you

    Says he can't believe he found me
    Wraps his arms around me
    Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah

    I can't let him in
    You call me up and ask me how I've been
    I'll call your bluff and
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    No, I can't let him in
    You play me rough, but I won't let you in
    So, call my bluff, I'll
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies

    Oh, count down to the day they may come true

    And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
    Lied and said his bike was in the "motor shop
    Drove my car once and made the tire pop
    Still we had some fun, till I came to
    'Cause I wouldn't be with you

    On the Fourth of July, I met a man, Pierre
    Lied about his age, but I didn't care
    Spoke in broken English but the heart was there
    In those eyes of sky and ocean blue
    'Cause I wouldn't be with you

    Says he can't believe he found me
    Wraps his arms around me
    Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah

    I can't let him in
    You call me up and ask me how I've been
    I'll call your bluff and
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    No, I can't let them in
    You play me rough, but I won't let you in
    So, call my bluff, I'll
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
    Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies

    Oh, count down to the day they may come true
    I'm counting dow-ow-ow-ow-own
    I'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-own
    I'll come around Writer/s: BENJAMIN JOSEPH LEVIN, ERIN MICHELLE WUTHRICH, MICHAEL JOHN ANGELAKOS, RYAN B. TEDDER
