Tip Toe

Lips like liquorice Slightly sweet in a bitter bliss It comes with every kiss He's a morphine mentalist With a melancholic floral wit Oh, what a cryptic kid He'll tip toe through the window Taking one more for the road And he'll hang on to your halo Knowing he's still gotta find his own 'Cause he might choke on this tightrope If he don't keep holding on to letting go He'll be wayward and too far gone But even the devil needs a friend that he can depend on Manic and mischievous An altruistic piece of shit That you can't resist He's an alkie anarchist With a silver tongue tucked between the ribs Of pretty painted fists He'll tip toe through the window Taking one more for the road And he'll hang on to your halo Knowing he's still gotta find his own 'Cause he might choke on this tightrope If he don't keep holding on to letting go He'll be wayward and too far gone But even the devil needs a friend that he can depend on He'll feel it in his fingers It's buzzing in his bones He'll fill your life with laughter To feel a little less alone He'll tell you of his heartache Til time has got 'em grown In a tale of ever after He'll love you like one of his own He'll feel it in his fingers It's buzzing in his bones He'll fill your life with laughter To feel a little less alone He'll tell you of his heartache Til time has got 'em grown In a tale of ever after He'll love you like one of his own He'll love you like one of his own He'll love you like one of his own Love you like one of his own
