It's been a while since you did something
And that's too long since you complained
Can sit around here doing nothing everyday
You're the kind who points a finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions and some spaced out fantasy, that's what you do

It loves to wallow in the glory
It loves to cut you down to size
He'll try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
A long time lie

And don't you ever look in the mirror
Don't you know there's so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret while you moan

It loves to wallow in the glory
It loves to cut you down to size
He'll try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
A long time lie Writer/s: David Gahan, Martin Gore
