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'll run my finger down the scar
Breathe it in like air, drink it down like wine
Then I sit, 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, the kiss is unkind
There's a crawlspace in my head that I find
Fire burns hot, river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the criеs of a child

Night stands at attention just to watch and wait
Like it came to see if I was gonna brеak
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 a 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
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, from the heart

You use need a gun; I give you what you steal
If you don't ride this train you're underneath the wheel
I'm too emotional for this

So rock it up now, baby, but don't look down
Let's just make it goodbye, I'm gonna leave this town

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
Fire burns hot, river runs wild
And wind sounds like the cries of a child

When a 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, river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
