Lilia’s cerebral with an attitude; she rides
Her gorgeous ghost in a room
She has a grip on everyone who locks eyes
With her wisteria blues
With a cinnamon jacket and a platinum pin
Of jewels in the shape of an eye
She walks into a loaded gun of a room and spits out
Every bullet in sight
Lilia
She’s a tour de force
I’ve seen Lilia hijack a stage
And captivate the crowd below
She spins their heads like a scherzo from hell until they
Think she’ll give ‘em a go, but no…
She flicks her tongue at the nearest tattoo
Mascara beckoning from her eye
Long black boot with a low heeled poise
Kicks its way out, under a thigh
Lilia, Lilia
She’s a passionate play, she’s a shooting star
A plasticene (plaster casting) roving eye. Lilia

She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear
Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta
And when the clothes are strewn
Don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
But she won't stake her life on you
How can life become her point of view
And when the clothes are strewn
Don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end

Who Knew?

Loneliness meant something else before this
I’m in a space all mine
Can’t make sense out of nonsense
Can’t name facts out of artifacts
Ooh, who knew I’d cocoon
Ooh, who’s intense blue?
A golden truth turned into a greying fib
With a smile of evil and a figure of speech
Ooh, I knew you
Ooh, I knew the former real you
Show me your life and don’t descend to lies
Tell me the same story you tell yourself at night
Ooh, I knew it was some…thing
Ooh, that would explode
Ooh, I knew this was ultimately nothing
Ooh, I knew we’d fold
