Lyrics
Green Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kiss me again, rekiss me and kiss me
Slip your frigid hands beneath my shirt
This useless old fucker with his twinkling cunt
Doesn't care if he gets hurt
Green eyes, Green eyes
Green eyes, Green eyes
If it were but a matter of faith
If it were measured in petitions and prayer
She would materialise, all fleshed out
But it is not, nor do I care
Green eyes, Green eyes
Green eyes, Green eyes
So hold me and hold me, don't tell me your name
This morning will be wiser than this evening is
Then leave me to my enemied dreams
And be quiet as you are leaving, Miss
Green eyes...
Green eyes, Green eyes
Green eyes, Green eyes
