It's a fake, it's a hoax
It's a nowhere road where no one goes
Anywhere, anyhow
Well you're following your heart rate down
She's a rose, she's a queen
But she's staring at a magazine
In the dark, on that path
Where they doctor every photograph
Another is waiting
She isn't saying anything
If you care, if you like
Well, I'm standing in the lantern light
With our weapons and our love
And I use them both to cover up
But I love you and I care
So you've got to get off that conveyor belt
If I could
I would come right in and take you off myself
It's a fake, it's a con
The nature of the road you're on
Let me see your skeleton
Well before your life is done
[Chorus x2]
