lillian


lillian

i watched you as i dreamed,
rocking over my cradle
i watched you as i screamed,
knocking over the table.

you're my angel;
you'll take me by the arm...
you're my mother
with a shotgun alarm.
you're my lover in a windstorm.
oh, lillian, wish you coulda been more than mine.

babylon will fall for you.
men will go to war for you.
everything you love, you'll lose.
there is nothing more to do.

i'm oh so sorry, lillian.
i'll never hurt you so again.
i never meant to leave you to the vampires.
i'm oh so sorry, lillian.
i'll never make you up again.
i never meant to lead you into the fire.

let me take you screen-star style.
velvet eyes and junkie's smile.
let me breathe you for a while.
i'd love to be you but i'm still in denial.
you're my demon;
sweet angels get too bland.
you're my mother with my
blood on your hands.
you're my lover in a wasteland.
lillian, wish you coulda been more than mine.
