“Lie For A Lie”    (Fenn, Mason, Peyronel)
A game's a game, I hear you say
Enough emotion in a day
We'll never live enough to play
I hear you say.

You make the way, you make the moves
Giving clues about the rules
But there's no way to warn the fools
They're only fools
But there's no way to warn the fools
They're just fools.

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive.
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.

So let the fire within me burn
You know something I should learn
But I don't know which way to turn.
Still I turn
But I don't know which way to turn.
Still I turn.

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive.
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.

And when the flame begins to go
I'll be there inside the door
You'll never know that I care more
Than I can show.
You'll never know that I care more
Than I can show.

Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.
Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive.
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a truth for a truth.

Nothing is hard to believe
No one is hard to deceive.
Leave me a light in the dark
Give me a lie for a lie
Give me a lie for a lie.
Give me a truth for a truth.
