Lie To Me by Sarah Blake Lyrics

Ria can see a lie
so it's ok to put her
in a room with
someone dangerous.

And she can get three
men into a room,
she can hold
her liquor. Oh Ria,

Ria Torres—my
googling says your
name means
Laughing Towers.

Even I know
that's not quite true--
a little lie for you,
Ria, dear Ria,

America's
Hispanic woman
of our dreams.
Once fields of wheat
for us, skin of the land.
Well look at this
now, new, sun kissed,
toasted, gorgeous,

skin of Ria.
God shed his grace
on thee. Crown thy
good.

Who do I tell
I want centerfold
photos of her
in my magazines?

I want her on
a billboard, bigger
than a thousand
human hearts.

Someone tell
Ria Torres she is
beautiful to a woman
that’s not her mother.

I hear Torres and toro,
toro! Ria, almost rojo,
and something soft
moves through the air.
