Get up from a dream and I look for rain

Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain

How am I feeling? Better, I suppose

How am I looking, I don't want the truth

What am I doin', I ain't in my youth

I'm past my prime... or was that just a pose?

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those

I've been accused of never opening up

You get too close then I keep my mouth shut

I'm gonna run to the wind where the big bad city blows

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those.

Well you can dress to the eights, you can dress to main

Make you feel great, this fortune and fame

Wearin' too much make-up... not near enough clothes

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those.

So don't pin your hopes or pin your dreams

On misanthropes or guys like me

But the truth is overrated... I suppose

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by on those

It's a wonderful lie, I still get by ...

And that's it! In the studio version I believe there's an interlude in there somewhere,

the 2nd or 3rd verse, but I've seen Paul play it live without, so, do whatever you want.
