Written by Bart de Win

lyrics

Your first lie

You missed the dying prince, Chicago cold
A crying mama and getting old
The rising sea, the last living bee
And your first lie

The never ending story of human rights
Heartbreaking love and birthday fights
Little uniforms, murdered unicorns
And your first lie

And you missed the needle and all the pain
And you missed missing home in the cold, cold rain
The killing of angels and elephant kings
And your first lie

But there's a place close by where you belong
I see your face close by where you belong

You won't have to fight over virtual violence
In a world without mercy and inconceivable silence
And you're not afraid of the bully boy beat-ups
And your first lie

Easy to love, easy to long for

You could've changed it all and you don't even know
Destiny's beauty can hit you with a blow
You missed puberty and all the insecurity
Of your first lie
