You've got, to


 dance little 

liar

           
Just like thos

           
e fibbs to pop

 and fizz
              
And you'll be 

           
forced to take

      
 that awful qu

And you're bou

nd to trip
           
And she'll det

(faster strumming here)

           
Time to decide

         
 on his saunte

r
              
Have you got i


tchy bones?
        
And in all you

r time alone
           
Can you hack y

              
our mind being

   (   )
 riddled
             
with the wrong

       
 memories?
