My arrows never seem to find
A target or an alibi
I know you don’t belong to me
But soon enough you’ll have to be alone
Cuz I’m alone

The animals are on the loose
In a den of ill repute
The singer recites poetry from a
A second story balcony and

Although I’m still confused
By the science of excuse
They say our star may never rise
I’m staying up all night to find out

Every lover lies sometimes
Every lover lies

Sylvia cries beside the bed
While San Francisco looms ahead
There’s a handsome ransom to be paid
For dreaming of Faye Dunaway

Although I’m still confused
By the science of excuse
They say our star may never rise
I’m staying up all night to find out

Every lover lies sometimes
Every lover lies sometimes

Picture the guilt stricken boy again
Professing love to the very end
And there goes the bullfighting girl in red
Jealousy is her last defense
The spectators are in a state
Cuz the entertainment’s second rate so

Although I’m still confused
By the science of excuse
They say our star may never rise
I’m staying up all night to find out

Every every every lover lies
Every every every lover lies
Every every every lover lies
Every every every lover lies

And I know it’s wrong to be proud
In such a prominent crowd
But have your heard the rumors?
If you like bad advice
It’s not worth doing
If you don’t think twice
