Lie Detector - Week Three - Day Four

Sometimes you can try so hard to get to the sound in your head that you get something completely different. It is either divine or ambitiously flawed.
Which brings me to todays song. A long lost relic, a quarter of a song from years ago. I thought that I'd give it some finishing.

Can something be divinely flawed?

Lie Detector

Waiting on a phone call
Flipping through the dial
Looking for a little piece of something
I can cling to for a while
You won't believe it
But you just can’t deceive me anymore
I’ve got a lie detector
Hidden in my baseball cap

I never thought much about it
Before now
Like I’d live without it anyhow
I dream in stereo
But there’s static on the radio
Static on the radio

Now I’m going out to parties
I’m the first to make a toast
I’ll be having sex with strangers
On the bed with all the coats
You wont believe it
But you can’t quite receive the signal here
There must be something blocking
Out all your frequencies

I never thought much about it
Before now
Like I’d live without it anyhow
I dream in stereo
But there’s static on the radio
Static on the radio

Waiting for the slow burn
While I tally up the dues
Looking in the paper
for a sign of any news
But I can’t find you

I usually looking forward
When I’m going in reverse
I always feel much better
Right when things are getting worse
It’s an affliction

So I’ll keep your little trinkets
Since you’re taking so much more
I likely keep your picture
On the wall behind the door
So it stays open
And I can’t see you

I’ll go put on my finest suit
And head out in the street
I’ll smile and say hello to all the people that I meet
They don’t know me
