It's a Lie

It's a lie that I know what I want
It's a lie that I sing just to sing
It's a lie that I'm a better bullfighter
With real bulls

It's a lie that I have no ambitions
It's a lie that my nose grows
It's a lie that I write the songs
Of love thinking of you

I tell you it's a lie that I was a bank robber
It's a lie that I won't do it again
It's a lie that we loved each other so much
(Seems like yesterday)

I swear it's a lie that the parents are the Kings
It's a lie that rock and roll is dead
It's a lie that kisses without love
Taste like vinegar

For lies, those of reality
Promise everything but give you nothing
I never lied
Except to see you laugh

Less merciful than those of the heart
Are the lies of the goddess of reason
I only told you half of the truth in reverse
(Which is not the same as half a lie)

It's a lie that I have no enemies
It's a lie that they are not right
It's a lie that I accept that the navel
Of the world is not me

It's a lie that I have never lied to you
It's a lie that I won't lie to you anymore
It's a lie that a repeated rumor
Deserves to be true

It's a big lie that boleros lie
It's not true that it was ten o'clock
It's a lie that I'm a gentleman
When no one sees me

I repeat that it's a lie the glass with which you see me
It's a lie that I doubt to doubt
It's a lie that more than a hundred lies
Don't tell the truth

For lies, those of reality
Promise everything but give you nothing
I never lied
Except to see you laugh

Less merciful than those of the heart
Are the lies of the goddess of reason
I only told you half of the truth in reverse
(Which is not the same as half a lie)

Better than me, necessity lies
Knows well how to make you cry
My crime was dressing
The gray prince in blue

Look at the legs of desolation
They wear the stockings that passion tore
I only sing the blues
Of the one who missed the bus

Dreams tell the truth, heart
Tell me everything, lie to me, please
I only pretended
To eat queen with pawn

Ask the pure truth for explanations
It doesn't get dirty, it has no mercy
I only hung
Medals I didn't win
