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
