lyrics

Lie Awake

A placid wink of turquoise rouge brought forth consensual ties
My glance fell upon her inner thigh
She sells the curfew bells, then drives on through the day
But that song on the radio still plays

Joanie’s with her demons in a consciousness delayed
She’s teasing all the stupid girls with promises she made
She’s off to her psychiatrist to bandage yesterday
When she’s walking through herself I know what she will say

I lie awake at night

Can you sing me that Latin lullaby?
You know the one that makes me cry
I like to keep my perversion to myself
I’ve only got one minute left, so could you do a little dance and wet your lip?
Maybe in awhile that song will leave my head
