Ed said, “They’re lying.”
Duane said, “Of course!”
Jeff said “They’re trying.

Ed said “They’re lying.”
Duane said.”They forgot.”
Pooky said,”They’re trying,”

Ed said, “They’re lying.”
Duane said, “Not again.”
Juan didn’t say a word

Ed said, “They’re lying.”
Duane asked, “Are you sure?”

Ed said, “They’re lying!”
Duane turned off the lights.
Mary said, “I’m dying
it’s really just not right.”

Ed said, “They’re lying.”
Duane replied, “I know.”
Faustus left with sighing
but where is there to go?
