George Died in the 5th Grade 
No One Ever Knew Why 
He Was Out Selling Lemonade 
On the Fourth of July, and He Died

Sister Claire Said That He Was 
An Angel On Earth 
She Stood There and She Told Us 
She Had Clearly Rehearsed Every Verse 
Of the Lies That Tie You Down

There Are Times When a Man Feels 
That It's Him Against the World 
There Are Time When a Man Steals 
From the Love of His Girl 
There Are Days When a Beast Dies 
Long Before the Gun 
And There Are Days When a Crow Flies 
Straight Into the Sun, to Be Done 
With the Lies That Tie You Down

I've Forgotten My First Love 
I Haven't Seen Her Since When 
There's a Bum On the Corner 
He Thinks I'm His Best Friend, We Pretend 
He Says Rapture Is Any Day 
That's When God's Coming Down 
Althought Perhaps He Should Stay Away 
They'll Run Him Right Out of Town, Like a Clown 
With the Lies That Tie You Down 
The Lies That Tie You Down
