I Cannot Lie

I Cannot Lie -Cass McCombs

I fancied myself a poet today

And lo I took a yard

I'm always seeing ambulance backwards

And for that I pedal New York City

I ate raisins in Columbus circle

I thought about the military

Oh I cannot lie

Upon moving the chain caught my pant leg

I know I know I can be a bit ruddy

Thoughts were infinite varied repeating

I think I was almost happy

No sex my wounds were opened

Blood in sh*t in vast whale gut drumming

Oh I cannot lie

Through the library hallways a memory amused me

Once I slipped se toma on a banana peel

Lord's honest truth

Jolie was there

How marvelous self amusement

Then later by the water

Tired I reflected upon the splendid day just had

I cannot lie

I'm always seeing ambulance backwards

I'm always seeing ambulance backwards

I'm always seeing ambulance backwards

I'm always seeing ambulance backwards
