Pull up a chair and I’ll lie to you. And I promise that you won’t be sad If I told you the truth you would call me uncouth and insinuate I might be mad See, Oz is a wonderful wizard While Santa Claus flies in a sleigh In the Heavens above there’s a God made of love who will show you His magical way And a bunny delivers the Easter eggs And the tooth fairy left you a dime And Christ may have died with a spear in His side but he never changed water to wine So I notice that now you are smiling Then I guess that my work here is through Believing the lies is a good compromise and so what if it’s not really true
