YOU BETTER LIE OR DIE
(Music & Lyrics by Igor (aka Yegor) Belkin)
You are scratching my back and I’ll scratch yours too
You know who I am and I know you
And the night comes down right before the door
We have competition and we know the score
You ask me what’s going on
But I’m thinking to myself… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
You live your life and I rule my world
We do things that can never be told
The stars are bright and the wind is fresh
We say goodbye and we’re gone in a flash
And when you’re asking me I don’t know why
But I’m thinking to myself… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
R: We sound like paired strings of a mandolin –
A couple with one desire
Oh, everybody knows this kind of special link
Where one bad turn leads to another one
And the night comes down right before the door
We have competition and we know the score
The stars are bright and the wind is fresh
We say goodbye and vanish in a flash
You ask me what’s the f…’s going on
And when the truth is on the tip of my tongue…
When you ask me what’s the f…’s going on
And when the truth is on the tip of my tongue…
… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
R: We sound like paired strings of a mandolin –
A couple with one desire
Oh, everybody knows this kind of special link
Where one bad turn leads to… another one
… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
R: We sound like paired strings of a mandolin –
A couple with one desire
Oh, everybody knows this kind of special link
Where one bad turn leads to… one bad turn leads to… another one…
… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
… you better lie or die!
