Lilith
from Songs For The Summer by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Or a hot fandango
On the chest of every man in her way
She trips elastic
And the light fantastic
And I hate the way her hips sway
'Cause I'm afraid to see what lies
Behind the black holes in her eyes
Her lips are blood
And her hair is dark wood
And she's hungry for the taste of your fear
I'm just a servant
To her tongue of serpent
As she whispers secrets into my ear
And when you're close to her body
You can smell the scent of death
Dancing on her breath
Tell all the angels
That I won't be coming home
She'll drag me to to hell
Before I die
I heard a fable
Of a fallen angel
If she isn't she's the devil's own
She's of the Earth
She ain't no virgin birth
And she's cast me to the brimstone
And I'm afraid to see
To see what lies
What lies behind
The black holes in her eyes
Tell all the angels
That I won't be coming home
She'll drag me to to hell
Before I die
Way off in the distance
A plague of hissing
Fills the air
Way off in the distance
The ocean dances
Through her hair
Stay back from where the dogs growl
Red rags and white flags
Stay back from where the wolves howl
Red rags and white flags
Oh, she only grows
Where suffering blossoms
You know that she smells
Of sulphur and jasmine
Drag me to hell before I die...
