[from Ass remastered CD - recorded 1972 - released U.S. 2010]

Lies, ties, mystical disguise
Hang it up, get up on your own
Pill-driven skills, weeping whippoorwills
Too much going 'round to get high

Look out for the blind owl
You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like she do
So I'll be strong

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Look out for the blind owl
You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like she do
So I'll be strong

Days, plays, interviewer's maze
Play the role, sell your soul
Becoming to yourself
A hero who must never liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ie

Who-oo-who, has never li-i-i-ied
Who-oo-who, has never li-i-i-ied
Who-oo-who, has never li-i-i-ied
Who-oo-who, has never li-i-i-ied
Who-oo-who, has never li-i-i-ied

[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)].
