Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves

Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away

Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
G# F# G#
The sirens on the shore calling them home

Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
G# Cm11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way

Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole

While the needle and the thread stitches them whole

Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves

Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay

No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away

I don't understand that sound on the radio
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
If man makes God in his own image
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
It doesn't mean that it makes it true
[Chorus]
A# D#
Just a little white lie, little white lie
G#
There in all that you do
A# D#
Little white lies, little white lies
G#
Hanging over you
A# D#
Kills art, kills love
G#
And it's killing you
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
Just a little white, little white lie
[Verse]
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
A# D# G# G#maj7 G#6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
A# D#
Once you get your name in that little black book
G# G#maj7 G#6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
A# D#
To a little white lie, little white lie
G#
There in all that you do

Little white lies, little white lies

Hanging over you

Kills art, kills love
