Look at the man in the corner, he's sitting all alone

His blankets are made out of cardboard,

His pillows are made out of stone

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie



See the man walking on the water, see the light in his eyes

He came into the world with a message to tell,

He came into the world to die

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie



You're always telling stories, you're always telling me lies

You're always telling stories, why?

So think of yourself in the water, seeing your days flashing by

It's too late to see what you wanted to be,

You've spent all your time, you must die



Every face tells a story it never tells a lie

Every face tells a story it never tells a lie



Step down

And make it work out right

I'm trying to get to you with my warning

Been there

For nearly half the night

Look it's nearly four in the morning
