Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? - Lyrics - Paloma Faith

The prophet took my hand on All Saints Day He preached the value of deception Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules Tales are never just for fools The court of conscience came before me Presenting me with a heavenly angel You took my hand and ask me, truth aside To his questions I replied Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? I am happy to deceive you He stood as tall as redwood trees Drank tea from a seamstress thimble Didn't want to speak, the honest truth So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? I am happy to deceive you Secrets, lying, falling veils I can be who you want me to be Sacred, lies in, telling tales I can be who you want me to be But do you want me? Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? I am happy to deceive you Sacred lies in, telling tales I can be who you wants me to be x2 I can be who you wants me to be But do u want me? But do u want me?
