well... if you read between the lines of the chorus:
I've got friends who
La La Lie
Will help me pull through
La La Lie
La La La Lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now, take out the La La Lie's and Yeah yeah yeah's... and it reads:
I've got friends who
Will help me pull through
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
So, the Lie part, in my opinion has nothing to do with his friends, but, he is tying to cope with his girlfriend, so he's saying that his friends will help him through his difficult time.
He is the spaceman that can't get high (into the air or space, wherever... just UP) because his girl is gone, and he's so emotionally weighed down, he just can't seem to feel good and 'raise' himself to get better.
I think he's just seperated from his girlfirend for temporary, not thatthey borke up or anything, and the La La Lie is just a great 'jingle' and catchy part to add into there.
He's trying to stop obsessing over her by telling the listener that he's done with doing things associating with her:
"Guess what I'm done
Writing your songs... book... {and} drawing your picture..."
Then after he says he's done with her, he then reminises something he does with his 'girl'
Well, I might be way off, but I know the La La Lie most likely has NOTHING to do with somebody lieing...
