Tip Toe

Lips like liquorice

Slightly sweet in a bitter bliss

It comes with every kiss

He’s a morphine mentalist

With a melancholic floral wit

Oh, what a cryptic kid

He’ll tip toe through the window

Taking one more for the road

And he’ll hang on to your halo

Knowing he’s still gotta find his own

‘Cause he might choke on this tightrope

If he don’t keep holding on to letting go

He’ll be wayward and too far gone

But even the devil needs a friend that he can depend on

Manic and mischievous

An altruistic piece of shit

That you can’t resist

He’s an alkie anarchist

With a silver tongue tucked between the ribs

Of pretty painted fists

He’ll tip toe through the window

Taking one more for the road

And he’ll hang on to you halo

Knowing he’s still gotta find his own

‘Cause he might choke on this tightrope

If he don’t keep holding on to letting go

He’ll be wayward and too far gone

But even the devil needs a friend that he can depend on

He’ll feel it in his fingers

It’s buzzing in his bones

He’ll fill your life with laughter

To feel a little less alone

He’ll tell you of his heartache

Til time has got ’em grown

In a tale of ever after

He’ll love you like one of his own

He’ll feel it in his fingers

It’s buzzing in his bones

He’ll fill your life with laughter

To feel a little less alone

He’ll tell you of his heartache

Til time has got ’em grown

In a tale of ever after

He’ll love you like one of his own

He’ll love you like one of his own

He’ll love you like one of his own

He’ll love you like one of his own
