apologetix - great white lie (abraham & abimelech) lyrics

[verse 1]
last night i had the strangest dream
god said, “prepare to die now
king abimelech, oh, here’s why, now:
‘cause you can’t choose abraham’s wife for your queen”
she’s the one the lord has chosen — what a bad scene!
and i said:

[chorus 1]
“ain’t lovin’ on my neighbor’s wife
n0body ever told me — wow! oh, no!
my god, no, please don’t do this!
ain’t nothin’ done with abraham’s bride
i promise, and i won’t touch now — oh, no!
my god, you’ll see — i’ll prove it”

[verse 2]
i’ve gone and told that now to abraham
that dream of mine has rocked me
what’s now revealed has shocked me
he looked at me, and he seemed aghast
“yes, that’s my sister, but she’s only my half”
and he said:

[chorus 2]
“ain’t sufferin’ for the sake of my bride
n0body gonna mow me down — oh, no!
i’ve got to be elusive
ain’t nothin’ but a great white lie
i’ve run into some cold, tough, crowds — oh, no!
i’m cautious, king, not stupid”
[instrumental break]

[bridge]
(“never said i never cared — i do”)
first he told her
(“never said i never said, ‘i do'”)
makes me wonder
(if he did it to the pharaoh, too)
why’d he tell her?
(everybody wants a girl like you)
act this way — oh!

[chorus 2]
“ain’t sufferin’ for the sake of my bride
n0body gonna mow me down — oh, no! (oh, no!)
i’ve got to be elusive
ain’t nothin’ but a great white lie
i’ve run into some cold, tough, crowds — oh, no!
i’m cautious, king, not stupid”

[chorus 2]
“ain’t sufferin’ for the sake of my bride
n0body gonna mow me down — oh, no! (oh, no!)
i’ve got to be elusive
ain’t nothin’ but a basic white lie
i’ve run into some cold, tough, crowds — oh, no!
i’m cautious, king, not stupid”
[chorus 3]
(whoa oh+oh oh+oh oh+oh)
ain’t nothin’ gonna take my bride
no, not again — i know this now — oh, no!
my god will see us through this
ain’t bluffin’ — god has taken my side
i’m learnin’ that he won’t let us down — oh, no!
i’ve got no need for ruses

[outro]
ain’t lovin’ all the tricks i tried
no, isaac, don’t ya quote me now…
