[Verse 1]
Turn out the lights
Birdless skies
Throw me on the rope
Wound tight
Nervous fright
Darling, the killer you know

[Chorus]
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

[Verse 2]
Women and men
Citizens
Carry your own cross
Careless
Careless
You are the albatross

[Chorus]
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies

[Verse 3]
Pine box
Stop the clocks
Why can't both be true?
High times
High crimes
Medals for you to salute

[Chorus]
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
