When a million miles from nowhere
Is still too close to home
You're with a hundred thousand people
And you still feel all alone
She was never in the circle, or the round would be a square
And the more she seemed to want it, oh the less they seemed to care

Sold out and no admission
Too late to buy
It's never who, it's only why
She's living the lie, living the lie

When you're on your way to somewhere
But the elevator falls
Do you look for the stairs to heaven
Or wander through the halls

He was only dedicated to the ones who make the law
But they burned with too much fire
And his heart was made of straw

No ticket, no admission, too late to buy
It's always he and he knows why
He's living the lie, living the lie
How bad do you want it, how far will you go?

If you're looking at tomorrow
To forget about today
Then the past will be your future
And it's there you'll always stay
What about the pictures that smile from magazines
The ultimate temptation, all our kings and our queens

Such heat and too much pressure, not worth the try
No more for them, now it's I
And no more living the lie, living the lie
Oh why, live the lie
