Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?

The prophet took my hand on All Soul's Day
 He preached the value of deception
 Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules
 Tales are never just for fools
 The court of conscience came before me
 Presented me with a heavenly angel
 You took my hand and asked me, truth aside
 To his questions I replied
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 Just close your eyes and make believe
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 I am happy to deceive you
 He stood as tall as redwood trees
 Drank tea from a seamstress thimble
 I didn't want to speak, the honest truth
 So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 Just close your eyes and make believe
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 I am happy to deceive you
 Secrets, lies and telling tales
 I can be who you want me to be
 Secrets, lies and telling tales
 I can be who you want me to be
 But do you want me?
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 Just close your eyes and make believe
 Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
 I am happy to deceive you
 Secrets, lies and telling tales
 I can be who you wants me to be
 Secrets, lies and telling tales
 I can be who you want me to be
 But do you want me?
