Strum

Church chimes ringing just next store
I was looking for something more
Bells tolling for a broken heart
I must love just to fall apart
That afternoon everything was all right
World was burning up disease and fright
Sitting around lazy a spoon
And I was waiting for you and the next full moon
The best kiss I never want to miss
Came from your lying lips spite of this
But you know I was long past that
Keeping cool in my panama hat
Lost weekends in the distant sublime
Take my vacation, sunset lavender time
Just one trick and I do it out of rabbits
I smell the perfume on her tender slim wrist
And I keep telling myself it dont get better than this
The best kiss I never want to miss
Came from your lying lips spite of this
Everybody knows where the conscience goes
Everybody shows, that where the evil grows
Kids upstairs asleep as a mouse
My own worries are too big for this house
Newspapers try to tell me what matters
Im telling you theyre all as crazy as Manhatters
I remember the shine of her bottom lip
And the kind of smile that could launch a thousand ships
Sit around nursing my wet memory
Or I could walk upstairs where shed be waiting for me
The best kiss I never want to miss
Came from your lying lips spite of this
