Love in the 4th (Demo)
(a.k.a. Lies I Can Believe)
Walter Becker and Dean Parks
Zeon Music: Runaway Inflation © 1992
Round and round - The words are spinning
Why don't we take it - From the beginning
I know it hurts but - Babe don't you worry
Let's take our time honey - What's the hurry?
Your eyes are moving - Yes I can see them
The words are soothing - Why don't I believe them?
Your eyes are beaming - But I can't receive them
You say our love just - Needs some attention
Maybe it's stuck in - The fourth dimension
You say it wants more - Kissage and huggage
Maybe it just got - Lost with our luggage
Maybe our love just - Needs space to grow in
A place to go to - A vector to grow in
Maybe what I need's - A towel to throw in
Don't you remember that rainy night?
Riding the dog in the pale moonlight
Making love up in the very last row
Lord have mercy - Halfway to Jersey
Spare me the details, the guts and glory
The truth is just another story
Why don't you give me
Why don't you give me
Lies I can believe?
I never said I was a diplomat
I guess I got no country to be true to
Don't you tell me not to be like that
Don't you blame me when I do like you do
Life is a gamble - You're never ready
The sands are shifting but - The winds are steady
They never let up - So keep your head up
Don't let 'em blow you away
To every man goes - His share of passion
But I'm way under - The legal ration
I think you nailed it - Right down to the letter
It's getting older - But it ain't getting better
Maybe our love just - Needs a vacation
The train is rolling - Out of the station
Across the platform - Another train is pulling in
Lovers sighing in exotic places
Holding hands with all the aces
Making love up on the captain's table
All the way, all the way home
I see my past stretched out before me
The truth is just another story
Why don't you give me
Why don't you give me
Lies I can believe?
Too bad these never made the "cut" pure brilliance and damn, incredible musicians..
