Lyrics

Four kisses from Lily
by Mike McHugh

well i was swimming in the lust
of a king cobra buzz
it was raining on the moon again
i heard the line through the ceiling
he was not there alone
her laughter's breath
was deep as the earth
window has dissolved
covered by the night
dripping starry sweat
dripping black & red
I've been sleeping by myself
I got four kisses from Lily
now I know yes I know what I need
If you weren't twisted
I would not be attracted to you
if you weren't lovely I would not love
I'll be your back scratcher baby
with a house call bag
filled with you, filled with you
if I tell you I must leave
please don't let me go
it's not that i need you
it's only what I want
I've been drinking all alone
I got four kisses from Lily
now I know yes I know what I need
it's not like that
I know it all seems so strange
I've been here half of thousand years
and I've got four hundred more
you've got that martini smell
yeah you're olive breath
and the whites of your eyes are pink
I don't remember what I said
that could hurt you so bad
I always planned to apologize
don't you think that way
there's nothing in between
there's no one to remind
there's no one trapped inside
I've been sleeping by myself
I got four kisses from Lily
now I know yes I know what I need
I've been drinking all alone
I got four kisses from Lily
now I know yes I know what I need
