Blizzard of Lies

Blizzard of Lies

We must have lunch real soon.  Your luggage is checked through.
We've got inflation licked.  I'll get right back to you.
It's just a standard form.  Tomorrow without fail.
Pleased to meet you.  Thanks a lot.  Your check is in the mail.

     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Your toes and knees aren't all you'll freeze
     When you're in it up to your thighs.
     It looks like snow, but you never know
      When you're marooned in a blizzard of lies.

You may have won a prize.  Won't wrinkle, shrink or peel.
Your secret's safe with me.  This is a real good deal.
It's finger lickin' good.  Strictly by the book.
What's fair is fair.  I'll be right there.  I am not a crook.

     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Better watch your step when your old dog Shep
     Can't even look you in the eyes.
     You're cold and lost and you're double crossed
     When you're marooned in a blizzard of lies.

We'll send someone right out.  Now this won't hurt a bit.
He's in a meeting now.   The coat's a perfect fit.
It's strictly fresh today.  Service with a smile.
I'll love you darling 'till I die.  We'll keep your name on file.
     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart.
     And you're in for a big surprise.
     When you're marooned, marooned, marooned
         marooned, marooned, marooned,
         marooned, marooned, marooned in a blizzard of lies.
     A blizzard of lies.
