sting - big lie, small world lyrics

Loading...

i sat down and wrote this letter
telling you that i felt better
since youve gone and i was free
im so happy

i have so little time to spare now
im wanted almost everywhere now
i make out like casanova
friends are always coming over

i signed my name as if i meant it
and sealed it with a kiss and sent it
the letter headed through my mood
happy in my solitude

but halfway home i changed my tune
and when i saw my lonely room
the mirror caught my eye
when i sat down, i cried

big lie, small world
it was a big lie, small world

i had to intercept that letter
telling you that i was better
i raced to catch the postmans van
he was leaving as i ran

i missed the bus, i missed the train
i end up walking in the rain
big dog chased me down the street
hadnt had a bite to eat

feeling sorry for myself
and wishing i was someone else
i walked across the city
because i couldnt stand your pity

big lie, small world
it was a big lie, small world

the place you live looks opulent
and obviously a higher rent
than a cozy little room
i had this sense of doom

your landlord says youre out of town
but your new boyfriends always around
the hour was getting late
so i sit down and wait

heres the postman with my letter
coming down the path he better
give that thing to me
i have to make him see

begging doesnt do the trick
he thinks that im a lunatic
but then who comes upon the scene
but your new boyfriend, mr. clean

i hit the postman, hit your lover
grabbed the letter, ran for cover
the police arrived in time for tea
they said theyd like to question me

but i can only curse my fate
i had to face the magistrate
it hasnt been the best of days
id like to fly away

big lie, small world
big lie, small world
it was a big lie, small world
big lie, small world
