Somewhere south of the border

Headin' for a doll serenade

Taking more than we aughta'

Shakin' off the masquerade



Lonely, she decided to see ya'

Get enough for her on the side

When the heat arrived at the motel

Whole town stayed inside



Some lie for love

Some lie for fame

Some lie for trust

Some lie in vain



Some lie for love

Some lie for gain

But I lie for you

In the pouring rain



Move on up to the Bayou

With the same old set of rules

You get nothin' for nothin'

And that's a fact

When you're tied to the ship of fools



Alice looking over her shoulder

Like a Chinese diplomat

Daring anyone to hold her

With a smile like a Cheshire cat



Some lie for love

Some lie for fame

Some lie for trust

Some lie in vain



Some lie for love

Some lie for gain

But I lie for you

In the pouring rain



Shakin' to a halt on a Voodoo

Second oldest trick in the book

No one does it quite like you do

When you start you can never

stop...never stop



On my way to a seance

Met a gypsy renegade

Crossed my palm with silver

In my heart put a jagged stake



Some lie for love

Some lie for fame

Some lie for trust

Some lie in vain



Some lie for love

Some lie for gain

But I lie for you

In the pouring rain
