lie one's head off
"... I sat down and began to think. Chastity belts? Nah, any locksmith could get around that. Lie detector tests? That wouldn’t work, either. Any good poker player can lie his head off without his heart missing a beat."

"...Send James Frey on a new publicity tour (once the book is rewritten) so he can answer to readers rather than lie his head off to Oprah. "

see my suggestion above
In my opinion, "klamac w zywe oczy" refers to How the Act of Lying is performed, the circumstances (in this case, the cheekiness of it) of it OPPOSED TO the nature of the lie itself.
