"Champagne (Lily Speaks)"
I only drink champagne
When I'm happy, when I'm sad
When I've been very, very good
Or when I've been bad
When I have company
I consider it obligatory
And when I am solitary
I dabble in it to
(French)
When I feel celebratory
I deem it to be neccessary
And when I'm plagued with melancholy
It provides the needed cure
When I'm in love it's compulsory
And when broken hearted gives me sympathy
I trifle with it when I'm not hungry
And I drink it when I am
(French)
Otherwise I never touch it
Unless I'm thirsty.
"Lion in the Streets"
There's a lion in the streets
And I can't come out to play
But I can hear the bleats
Of the lambs who bleed today
And the silver cord is loosened
And I have no regrets
And I hope that you'll forgive me
But I never will forget
And my lucky star shines
As he stumbles through the door
And I know as I pour the wine
Sticks and stones will break bones no more
And I said
la la la lalala, la la la lalala, la la la lalalalala
Broken glass at my feet
And the smell of almonds in the air
He said it tasted wrong
But he didn't speak for long
And the golden ball is broken
With a helpful push from me
Ne'er a truer word was spoken
Death is swallowed in victory
Death is swallowed in victory
