Gilded Lips

Gilded lips tell lily lies Of amber truths and silver eyes I see their whispers wink and sigh And slink, I think, but who am I to Speak between these teeth of tin To dance upon these boots of skin I dream a dream of life within That melts the moment it is seen Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Gilded lips tell lily lies Of candied truths and lazy eyes I speak of what I see inside Beneath the skin and words they hide their Gentle wings of brittle bone Their fragile shards of shattered stone Reveal the truth of a truth unknown That melts the moment it is born Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada My gilded lips they tell no lies They speak no words, but in my eyes There hides a secret plain as day So simple that no words will say My gilded lips tell only lies Fragmented truths dressed in disguise But listen close, and you will hear The bell is ringing loud and clear Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Ladadada Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm
