"Lilies" lyrics
"Lilies"
A finger on your mouth
Contemplate everything alive
All that breathes, that runs
You feel it all
Older than the dawn
Once it seemed like fun
In this city of gold
Bleeding and fading away
You've got everything to lose
Turn these bruises into wine
Blooms eventually decay
Reaching ecstasy through God's strained heart
Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
Walked with pilgrims in the snows
Dressed like wolves in these exotic lands
You showed me how to live
Another way
Older than the dawn
Once it seemed like fun
In this city of gold
Bleeding and fading away
You've got everything to lose
Turn these bruises into wine
Blooms eventually decay
Reaching ecstasy through God's strained heart
Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
You've got everything to lose
Turn these bruises into wine
Blooms eventually decay
Reaching ecstasy through God's strained heart
Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
You've got everything to lose
Turn these bruises into wine
Blooms eventually decay
Reaching ecstasy through God's strained heart
Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
Older than the dawn
You've got it all to lose
In this city of gold
Bleeding and fading
Bleeding and fading away

The Fixx - "Driven Out" Driven out by thieves,
I watch them pillage the planet
Fueled by a fattening greed,
Trees fall to the hatchet
We're chopping against the grain,
Our spirits in a vacuum
Sadly ignore the pain,
The end...

Cinderella - "Hard To Find The Words" Mama sometimes I feel inside
There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
Could ever match the love you gave
You taught me how to live
Told me walk before you run
And you were always there to pick me...
