All those lies suit you.
They are custom made to drive you out of reality.
Lies are true for you.
You know, what you do is reaching a point of insanity.

When you wake from your dream
You know what is true
Ring of bell inside your head
Is playing with your mind

Remember to pray, and what the Bible says
And you will live through eternity
You haven't hear of this?
There is something you missed,
It will cost you so heavily.

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die.

When you're done with him, you know where you have been,
He will treat us all equally.
Can you feel the fire burning

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made.
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must die.

    General Comment

    there is no commandment that says "thou shall not lie" Different religions have different orders, on some the 8th commandment is "You shall not steal." altho this one is the 7th in others.

    the 8th Commandment, however, is "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" Which is basically not to lie, but it does not say "thou shall not lie"... confusing...

    All in all, what they (Sonata A) might be saying is that lying will be punished, and death, furthermore, going to hell ("Can you feel the fire burning ") is the consequence...

    This is not true at all, for God will not send you to hell for lying, but it is a sing alright.

    "Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will live thru eternity You haven't hear of this? There is something you missed - it will cost you so heavily." The commandments are on Exodus 20

    "When you're done with him, you know where you have been, He will treat us all equally. Can you feel the fire burning" Could be talking about God or the devil, or both. "He" is spelled with capital H, therefore refering to God, however, they talk abotu the "fire", and of course, that is not God

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
