I tell no lie. I tell no lie. We lost a good friend, we donât miss him much. / Politics aside. Politics aside. He was a mirror made of alcohol and snide remarks. /No fake remorse. No fake remorse. He was a ham hock. He was a sex drive. He was a thick slab of exercise. He did what fat comedians doâ¦he died. Chorus-Good my conscience. Goodbye dignity. I got the sound on the stereo. Goddamn the bigger man. Turn out the lights. Turn out the lights. My bodyâs a temple made by a people long since dead and gone. / I tell no lie. I tell no lie. Letâs not pretend that deathâs the worst of all our optionsâ¦. Our friends in science invented finance. Got involved with fairly evil Martin Amis type shit. Thought weâd grow up to be pirates. Instead we grew up to be graphic designers. Now what are we to do with all these ridiculous tattoos? I was only with you because you were there. You were only with me because I was amusing. At some point I stopped being amusing. At some point you stopped being there. Now Jesus Christ was a carpenter, but you know heâs not the boss of me and when my handâs inside of you, you know I hear a symphony.
