Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful

Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful from Paloma Faith's amazing album of the same name.

A prophet took my hand on old souls day
He preached the value of deception
Changing shadows by shape shifters rules
Tales are never just for fools

The court of conscience came before me
Presented me with a heavenly angel
He took my hand and asked me truths aside
To his questions I replied

(chorus)
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to decieve you

He stood as tall as redwood trees
Drank tea from a seamstress' thimble
I didn't want to speak the honest truth
So I spit out lies that aim to soothe

Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to decieve you

Sacred lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
Sacred lies and telling tales
I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?

Repeat chorus and bridge

Thanks for this HQ version! I've had a difficult time locating this song and my iTunes, for some reason, will not add my new gift cards in order to let me purchase obscure stuff like this in America. So glad though, 'cause this song is fantastic, and her vocal best thus far =).
