Karaoke Telling Stories Tracy Chapman

There is fiction in the space between

The lines on your page of memories

Write it down but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories

There is fiction in the space between you and reality

You will do and say anything to make your everyday life seem less mundane

There is fiction in the space between you and me

There's a science fiction in the space between you and me

A fabrication of a grand scheme

I am the scary monster

I eat the city as I leave the scene in my spaceship I am laughing

In your remembrance of your bad dream there's no one but you standing

Leave the pity and the blame for the ones who do not speak

You write the words to get respect and compassion and for posterity

You write the words and make believe

There is truth in the space between

There is fiction in the space between you and everybody

Give us all what we need

Give us one more sad sordid story

But in the fiction of the space between

Sometimes a lie is the best thing

Sometimes a lie is the best thing

Oh, the best thing

Is the best thing
