The sad side of 2x the Mono: "Caught In A Lie" or "Exploding Man"

So I will featuring a couple of my songs this month at The Forge. Lucky for me the first song I posted was "Science Fantasy," a song that I think is very happy so now I have the luxury of picking from a full armada of sad songs. I think I will play one of the following two songs:

Caught In A Lie (Pinocchio) By Randell Neudorf © 2007

Caught in the act, caught in a lie
Don’t hesitate don’t you even think twice
Here’s what you’re going to do to pull yourself through
A story told well is a story believed
Cause all my friends know me so well
They know my story as if they knew me
Cause that’s what they need, a consistent me
A consistent me is why they believe

Who do you really know?
Who can you really know?
Who do you really know?
Why should you ever know?

You dirt fink, man you stink
That’s what you’d say if you ever got to read my mind
But my mind’s closed, but my mouth’s not
And my story flows out through my nose
Oh how it grows like know body knows
You say man how could anyone live like that
Well, you show me yours, and I’ll show you mine
You show me yours and everything’s fine

And we can hate together
And we can loathe each other
And we can hate each other
And we can lathe each other, other, other

You dirt fink, man you stink
That’s what you’d say if you ever got to read my mind
But my mind’s closed, but my mouth’s not
And my story flows out through my nose
Oh how it grows like know body knows
You say man how could anyone live like that
Well, you show me yours, and I’ll show you mine
You show me yours and everything’s fine

Who do you really know?
Who can you really know?
Who do you really know?

Exploding Man By Randell Neudorf © 2007

Kiss my wife, kiss her softly
Kiss my child, her hair tastes like honey
Kiss my wife, does she suspect
Kiss my child

Will she forgive me?
Will they forgive me?
Will she forgive me?
Will they forgive me?

Walk out that door, never to return
Walk out on life, this isn’t what I wanted
Walk out that door, does she suspect
Walk out on life

Will they curse me?
Will they love me?
Will they curse me?
Will they love me?

Strap my gear on, wire myself in
Light myself up, I’m ready to go…

Cause I’m the exploding man
And I’m going to take you all down with me
I’m the exploding man
You’ll never get a chance to hate me
I’m the exploding man
Watch me fly, watch me fly as I die
I’m the exploding man
Watch me fly, watch me fly as I die
Watch me fly, watch me fly
Oh, Watch me fly, watch me fly,
Watch me fly, watch me fly
Oh, Watch me fly; watch me fly as I die…

As I die
