A Kiss On The Lips

Turn the lights up baby gonna close my eyes

Don't want to see the situation out of disguise

I run my fingers down the scar

I breathe it in like air I drink it down like wine

Then I sit and I stare at the scene of the crime

When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips

It's a fragile wire the memory trips

The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind

There's a crawlspace in my head that I find

The fire burns hot the river runs wild

And the wind sounds like the cries of a child

The night stands at attention just to watch and wait

Like it came to see if I was gonna break

You hold me up you fold me up like paper

In the naked city where we wear it like skin

Come on baby it's such an unoriginal sin

When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips

It's a fragile wire the memory trips

The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind

There's a crawlspace in my head that I find

The fire burns hot the river runs wild

And the wind sounds like the cries of a child

There is an edge there is a blade that's so sharp

Baby it can separate the soul from the heart

You don't need a gun I gave you what you steal

If you don't ride this train you're underneath the wheel

I'm too emotional for this

Rock it up now baby but don't look down

Let's just make it good-bye I'm gonna leave this town
