Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful - Paloma Faith

The prophet took my hand on All Saints Day

He preached the value of deception

Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules

Tales are never just for fools

The court of conscience came before me

Presenting me with a heavenly angel

You took my hand and ask me, truth aside

To his questions I replied

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

Just close your eyes and make believe

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

I am happy to deceive you

He stood as tall as redwood trees

Drank tea from a seamstress thimble

Didn't want to speak, the honest truth

So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

Just close your eyes and make believe

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

I am happy to deceive you

Secrets, lying, falling veils

I can be who you want me to be

Sacred, lies in, telling tales

I can be who you want me to be

But do you want me?

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

Just close your eyes and make believe

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

I am happy to deceive you

Sacred lies in, telling tales

I can be who you wants me to be x2

I can be who you wants me to be

But do u want me?

But do u want me?
