Lyrics
You could lick or chew tongue
You could engage in intimate or flirtatious behavior with your tongue.
In style tonight champagne drag queen

Suit pinstripe outta line

It's time to try how blisters on your feet

If I could choose from two
If given a choice between two options.
I'd mime to be a smile
Choosing to convey happiness or contentment by miming a smile.
But when you rely on a lie that's true
When you depend on a lie that is perceived as true.
And no one believes in the things you do
Others don't believe in or support the actions you take.
'Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true
Because a significant portion of the lies you tell are not genuine.
I'm gonna find out I'm gonna find a piece of you
Determined to discover and understand a part of someone.
You could pick and lose diesel dreams

Sex brings out the spies
Engaging in intimate activities reveals hidden observers or secrets.
Hanging from your feet Hollywood star style
Hanging in a glamorous and attention-grabbing manner, Hollywood star style.
But when you rely on a lie that's true
Similar to line 8, relying on a lie perceived as true with skepticism from others.
No one believes in the things you do
A repetition emphasizing disbelief or lack of support from others in your actions.
'Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true
Highlighting again that a significant portion of the lies told are not genuine.
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of you
Expressing determination to uncover and understand a part of someone.
