What a Story

Verse 1

What a story you let loose,
What a story you laid down,
Now the story's got its own two feet,
And it's walkin' 'round the town
Better back up your story with another good lie,
Better pack up the whispers that are tryin' to learn to fly.

Verse 2

Now the story's gotten loose in the town,
And it's growin' arms and legs,
And you know it's going to multilpy,
'Cause the story's layin' eggs.
Better back up your story with another good lie,
Better pack up the whispers that are learnin' how to fly.

Verse 3

Now the story's growin' wings and claws,
And it's flyin' 'round your head.
Now the story's got a life of its own,
And you're wishin' it was dead.
Got you backed up in a corner, with another one of your lies,
Better pack up the whispers that are learnin' how to fly.

Verse 4

What a story you let loose,
What a story you laid down,
Now the story's got a terrible cry,
Wreakin' havoc on the town.
Better back up your story with another good lie
Better pack up the whispers that have learned how to fly.

We didn't do that.
We didn't do that.
We didn't do that.
We didn't do that.

Verse 5

What a story you let loose,
