Preview of the tone of the album Ominous Bus -- this song reflects the year 2020 - it started as a fragment by brian called stiletto knives and carl wrote some additional lyrics and changed it to stiletto eyes and then finally to stiletto lies reflecting how lying reached a high art during the past 4 years (probably before as well but not quite so blatantly) elements of the pandemic also found their way in with masks, quarantines, other unfortunate necessities that forced us to look inward
Lyrics
Stiletto Lies
C D
LIFE SIDEWAYS (I AM IN QUARANTINE) IN STILETTO LIES (ALL ALONE IN HERE)
PUSH ASIDE MY AVARICE (THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN) CREATE A PLEBISCITE
AND DEEP DARK NIGHT, YES DEEP DARK NIGHT
LOOKING INTO NIGHTSHADE (I AM IN QUARANTINE)
SEE NOTHING THERE (ALL ALONE IN HERE)
PUSH ASIDE MY EMBLEMS (THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN) BUYER BEWARE
AND DEEP DARK NIGHT YES DEEP DARK NIGHT
LIFE SIDEWAYS (I AM IN QUARANTINE) IN STILETTO LIES (ALL ALONE IN HERE)
PUSH ASIDE MY AVARICE (THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN) CREATE A PLEBISCITE
AND DEEP DARK NIGHT, YES DEEP DARK NIGHT
THROWN IN PRISON NO TRIAL HELD
PUSH ASIDE OPINIONS LOOK AT FACTS INSTEAD
IN THE DEEP DARK NIGHT
