Big Lie, Small World – StingBy I sat down and wrote this letterTelling you that I felt betterSince you’ve gone and I was freeI’m so happyI have so little time to spare nowI’m wanted almost everywhere nowI make out like CasanovaFriends are always coming overI signed my name as if I meant itAnd sealed it with a kiss and sent itThe letter had improved my moodHappy in my solitudeBut halfway home I changed my tuneAnd when I saw my lonely roomThe mirror caught my eyeWhen I sat down, I criedBig lie, small worldIt was a big lie, small worldI had to intercept that letterTelling you that I was betterI raced to catch the postman’s vanHe was leaving as I ranI missed the bus, I missed the trainI end up walking in the rainBig dog chased me down the streetHadn’t had a bite to eatFeeling sorry for myselfAnd wishing I was someone elseI walked across the cityBecause I couldn’t stand your pityBig lie, small worldIt was a big lie, small worldThe place you live looks opulentAnd obviously a higher rentThan our cozy little roomI had this sense of doomYour landlord says you’re out of townBut your new boyfriend’s always aroundThe hour was getting lateSo I sit down and waitHere’s the postman with my letterComing down the path he betterGive that thing to meI have to make him seeBegging doesn’t do the trickHe thinks that I’m a lunaticBut then who comes upon the sceneBut your new boyfriend, Mr. CleanI hit the postman, hit your loverGrabbed the letter, ran for coverThe police arrived in time for teaThey said they’d like to question meBut I can only curse my fateI had to face the magistrateIt hasn’t been the best of daysI’d like to fly awayBig lie, small worldBig lie, small worldIt was a big lie, small worldBig lie, small world www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
