Julie Miller A Kiss On The Lips Lyrics

Turn the lights up baby gonna close my eyes
Don't want to see the situation out of disguise
I run my fingers down the scar
I breathe it in like air I drink it down like wine
Then I sit and I stare at the scene of the crime
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
There's a crawlspace in my head that I find
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
The night stands at attention just to watch and wait
Like it came to see if I was gonna break
You hold me up you fold me up like paper
In the naked city where we wear it like skin
Come on baby it's such an unoriginal sin
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
There's a crawlspace in my head that I find
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child There is an edge there is a blade that's so sharp
Baby it can separate the soul from the heart

SOLO

You don't use a gun I gave you what you steal
If you don't ride this train you're underneath the wheel
I'm too emotional for this
So rock it up now baby but don't look down
Let's just make it good-bye I'm gonna leave this town
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
There's a crawlspace in my head that I find
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
When the lie comes down like a kiss on the lips
It's a fragile wire the memory trips
The taste is sweet but the kiss is unkind
There's a crawlspace in my head that I find
The fire burns hot the river runs wild
And the wind sounds like the cries of a child
