Call Me A Liar - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Call me a joker

Call me a liar

Call me whatever you wanted to

I am a smoker

A midnight fucking toker

Putting mine on the egg inside of you

I would expect you to teach me a lesson

But not the one that you’ve done

I wasn’t born dumb, but oh i could become

Innocently rubed by someone

And the fan-tails take their early morning walk

I shoot rounds off while they swing about the road

The light is wasted

The evening tasted

By me and then much later by you

And when today i’d found

We’d somehow lost our way, i thought

That i was bound to break before it’s through

I would expect you to leave me much wiser

But not so wise as i am

And with this knowledge now in my possession

I can act and be free as i choose

My inside’s crying and screaming with an awful call

My appetite shows the morning altercation’s toll

As i was saying

I would have laid in

But i’m not, so you’re going to do what you do

And when it’s over

I’ll be your brother

And give my heart and head to you

I would expect you to take what you wanted

But not the things that you did

I would expect you to take me for granted

Figuring i never understood

You keep all of the money pressed against your chest

I didn’t know that, and i never would have guessed
