Heidi Wolfson is a Philadelphia singer-songwriter. In her fourth decade of making music, Heidi is taking a slightly softer approach... but her music remains vocally interesting and the lyrics are definitely worth checking out. If you like Patti Smith, you will probably like Heidi. Have fun and thanks for listening.

Story behind the song
This was written right after Heidi and the Wolf broke up. It a sad song about letting go of the dream.
Lyrics
Mikey Lied (1984) Em Dm We are so afraid of getting old Em Dm We are in the fire of rock and roll G F We look at the door and he comes sauntering in G F Shrugging his shoulders and waiting for the show to begin Fmaj7 ( an f chord with 1st string open) Oh what a sin We almost believed in him Em Then Miky Lied Dm Mikey Lied Dm Mikey Lied Em Mikey Lied Em Always trust in the hands Dm That run along the strings Em Dm Give yourself to music and you give everything G F But holding the bottom line is a boyish man G F Caught in a circle that he don’t understand Fmaj7 But we saw the van And now it’s plain to understand That Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Fmaj7 Em Oh so lonely are we all Fmaj7 Got to believe in someone Em Got to believe in someone Fmaj7 But how can we? We saw the van… we We understand That Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey won’t like it… he hates everything Mikey Won’t Like it…. He hates everything Mikey Lied Mikey Lied Mikey Lied
