It's a fake, it's a hoax
It's a nowhere road where no one goes
Anywhere, anyhow

Where you follow when your heart rate down
She's a rose, she's a queen
But she's starin' at a magazine

In the dark, on the path
Where they doctor every photograph


[Chorus]
Another is waiting
She isn't saying anything


If you care, if you like
Well, I'm standing in the lantern light

With our weapons and our love
And I use them both to cover up


[Chorus]

But I love you and I care

So you got to get off that conveyor belt
If I could
I would come right in and take you off myself


It's a fake, it's a con
The nature of the road you're on

Lets me see your skeleton
Well before your life is done


[Chorus]
