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 us
Another is waiting, she isn't saying anything
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
Lets me see your skeleton
Well before your life is done
Another is waiting, she isn't saying anything
