In the west of town there´s no promised land
And if you can get that through your head then fine
And if you want me to be honest with
You can ask me and I´ll tell you everything

And if you want to know a lie
Then I´ll tell you a lie
If you want to know the truth
Then I´ll tell you
Oh when you´re coming up for air
And you think there´s someone there
No you won´t see me
´Cos I´m faster than you think

As the world flies by and I close my eyes
To empty office buildings and the five-a-side
Where the air is thin in the morning light
If I´m on this road I´m gonna wait again

And if you want to know a lie
Then I´ll tell you a lie
If you want to know the truth

Then I´ll tell you
Oh when you´re coming up for air
And you think there´s someone there
No you won´t see me
´Cos I´m faster than you think

If you want the truth then just ask me
I will give it to you but you won´t like it much
And if that´s okay then we´ll get on fine
And if not then we can call it quits

And if you want to know a lie
Then I´ll tell you a lie
If you want to know the truth
Then I´ll tell you
Oh when you´re coming up for air
And you think there´s someone there
No you won´t see me

´Cos I´m faster than you think

And if that´s okay then we´ll get on fine
And if not then we can call it quits
