Description
probably the most solidly written song on the record i've been posting from. the lyrics are a personal favorite. still bothers me that i copped from john mellencamp for the bassline.

Lyrics
lover, lay your lies on me
and we’ll make believe.
i am open now
i am ready to receive.
lover, lay your lies on me
lover, lay your lies on me
there is a signature passion that leaves me constantly crawling up to you,
and as it traces a pattern, a significant pain awaits.
this is the avenue i walk with you -
this cold, unlighted street.
i just keep moving my feet.
we took off in a hurry, and we launched into the atmosphere.
you tell me “no need to worry,” but it’s a free-fall toward the land.
don’t count on the parachute of perfect truth
to steer us from the sea.
that is not how it’s going to be.
lover, lay your lies on me...
i accepted the mission, and my directive i take by telephone:
when you say that you want me, you do not mean me alone.
well, i don’t care what you do, i don’t care who
i want you to feel free,
even if it destroys me.
lover, lay your lies on me...
‘cause when you tell me the truth
it sometimes feels like abuse.
like i surrender to you,
and then you strike out with your honesty.
there are rules to the game i must obey,
i will not ask you to choose
but i’m feeling
contracted
reacting to you.
you make your decisions but
i too can choose.
you take what you want,
i’ll take what i need,
we’ll enter each other and live in our dream.
my body,
my mind,
my time
and my word –
this is all that i have to give
lover, lay your lies on me
and we’ll make believe.
i am open now
i am ready to receive,
i will be naive.
just say i’m the only one
the only one you see.
oh, lover, lay your lies on me
lover, lay your lies on me
and we’ll make believe.
i am open now
i am ready to receive.
lover, lay your lies on me
lover, lay your lies on me
there is a signature passion that leaves me constantly crawling up to you,
and as it traces a pattern, a significant pain awaits.
this is the avenue i walk with you -
this cold, unlighted street.
i just keep moving my feet.

i'm sure cougar won't mind...hehhehhehh....solid soulful intro....slappin/poppin bass propels and punctuates the song.......vocals are soulful....violin is a nice touch, quite unexpected but works in well.......solid composition.....onward!
