The Residents - Lillie lyrics
Your rating:
Her teeth were in her hands and her tongue was hanging out; The she started drooling and caught it in a cup, The cup was full of pennies; it spilled when she got up. Some guy is in the shadows grabbing empty air; He could be catching butterflies if there were any there. All the freaks are not inside the tents Some pay to come and be in the audience. I saw a great big guy who had a little gun; He pulled it out and smiled and then he sucked his thumb His wife was standing by with a leather leash Fastened to a child who cried beside their feet. The scary one is back with clothes so white and clean; And her face that's coated with a quarter inch of cream-cold cream She's the one who freaks the freaks out Lillie little Lillie, Lillie little Lillie, Lillie chilling Lillie Lillie with her white face. Delicate Lillie is stainlessly lonely and She is too white Like a face in a flashlight with teeth that might bite She is too white Like dice rolling snakeeyes in headlights at night She is too white Like a corpse in the sunshine or eyes in a fight There's a spot a spot on my glove on my glove I know, no no maybe it was make em runny make em runny honey... doilies doilies where have all the doilies gone... Roses will whither and die Along with the lace and the lies Nothing is nicer than death At matching the bad and the best Heh heh... he hated me he hated me and hate is white and hate is hot but I'll not even have disdain for him not even a stain on a memory looked up to, lacking all respect for him I'm blacking out the specks of decent thoughts that linger in me and leave only white white peaceful white calm white swans silently flying in the snow look down and see the bleached bones of a noble knight who died trying to save his lady his lovely white lady who brought her man milk in the moonlight but it was too late too late too late he said Scratch out all the pin holes Open up the sores Don't look out the window White hatred's at the door. And he tried to make me dirty make me dirty make me dirty. Touch her someone Touch her someone Reach out to her Touch her soiled soul
