Liar's Curse (ED)

Lyrics

Verse 1
He talked in a circle
He smiled with a mark
Every little fib
Lit up in the dark

He swore he was honest
He swore he was clean
But the truth got jealous
Of the lies in between

Pre-Chorus
If he said "I don't know"
His body would know
A hard little signal
That stole every show

He'd cough and look down
Like a man in a bind
The more he would twist it
The more it would rise

Chorus
Penis up, penis up
Every time he lied
Penis up, penis up
Right there on the side
He tells one more lie
And he can't disguise
Penis up, penis up
A curse in his eyes

Verse 2
At supper with Delia
He lied 'bout his youth
Said he fought in a war
Said he always knew truth

Penis went stiff
Like a flag in a storm
His chair got too small
His pride got too warm

He lied to the preacher
He lied to the law
Penis kept climbing
Like a jaw with a draw

Pre-Chorus
He'd vow on his mother
He'd swear on his name
But the second he bent it
The body'd proclaim

A painful confession
A rude little flare
His mouth made a mess
And his penis was there

Chorus
Penis up, penis up
Every time he lied
Penis up, penis up
Right there on the side
He tells one more lie
And he can't disguise
Penis up, penis up
A curse in his eyes

Bridge
Old man by the fire
Said, "Boy, here's the price
A lie is a spark
And your flesh pays twice"

So he stared at the embers
He trembled and tried
Then he spoke one true sentence
And lowered his pride

"I'm lonely," he said
"I'm afraid of the light"
The penis went still
For the first time tonight

Final Chorus
Penis down, penis down
When the truth came clear
Penis down, penis down
No need for fear
He tells one true line
And the shame disappears
Penis down, penis down
The curse just clears

Penis up, penis up
When the liar returns
Penis up, penis up
And the whole town learns
Tell one honest word
And the whole thing turns
Penis down, penis down
That's how he earns
