Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?

Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? - Paloma Faith

Prophet took my hand

On old souls day

He preached the value of deception

Changing shadows by

A shapeshifters 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 asked me truths 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

I 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

Sacred lies in telling tales

I can be who you wants me to be

But do you want me

But do you want me
