The Lie of Love

He gets the mean reds
She gets the grey blues
She's passive on pills
He's vicious on booze
She likes the late movies
He likes the late news

She smiles when she's sad
He sneers when he's gay
They don't seem to care that
They've nothing to say
She just reeds lots of books
While he plays games that pay

She says, What the hell dear
                 The fact is we're here
                 Let's live the lie
                          of love
                 Let's live the lie
                          of love

She needs his strenght
He needed her fear
She's scared of the dark
He's scared that he's queer
She only drinks wine
He prefer beer

He likes latest models
They let him pretend
They never make waves
The never say when
While she traffics in tough guys
Who say they're real men

They come home and swear
It won't happen again -
They live the lie of love
They live the lie of love

He gets the mean reds
She gets the grey blues
She's passive on pills
He's vicious on booze
She likes the late movies
He likes the late news

He says, We've got nothing to gain
                 Still we've nothin to lose
                 Let's live the lie
                          of love
                 Let's live the lie
                          of love
