[Intro – Spoken over groove] “Oooh… lies never looked so beautiful…” Sparks in the mirror… flashes in your eyes… Truth was never in the palette, baby…” [Verse 1] You wore red like a revolution But your lips whispered sweet confusion Blue like the calm before the storm I should’ve known, that shade was not the norm Green with envy, silver tongue Painted dreams where we belong Neon lights, but the feeling's gone Dancing in a web that you spun [Pre-Chorus] You dressed it up in technicolor A masterpiece that hides another I saw the cracks behind the shine Truth fades out in every line [Chorus] The colors of a lie — so vivid, so divine Dancing through the night with a heart you redesigned Oh, the sparkle in your eye — a hypnotic alibi Baby, I was blinded by the colors… The colors of a lie [Verse 2] Gold for promises you never kept Velvet tones in secrets you’ve slept You said love, but your hues betrayed A disco ball of masquerade Purple smoke and phantom charms We spun like vinyl in your arms You drew a rainbow with no end A spectrum twist you can’t defend [Pre-Chorus] You blurred the lines and bent the light Wrapped the truth in Friday night I see it now, the painted skies Were just illusions in disguise [Chorus] The colors of a lie like fireworks in July They dazzle for a moment, then they flicker out and die Oh, your touch electrified — but baby, it was sly Caught me in your prism of the colors… The colors of a lie [Bridge – Funk Breakdown / Vocoder] “Chromatic deception… emotional reflection…” “You said love, but it was just projection…” “Layered tones, false affection… in your disco direction…” “Fade to black… no connection…” [Final Chorus – Double Time / Full Harmony] The colors of a lie — still burning in my mind I danced into the flame, now I'm leaving it behind No more truth to justify, no more reasons why I’m stepping out the spectrum of the colors… The colors of a lie [Outro – Repeating Fade] Oooooh, the colors… the colors of a lie… (Lie… lie… lie…) Shining bright… just to say goodbye… (Lie… lie… lie…)
