Tiger Lily

Baby’s talking it’s what she does best
I’ll just sit and agree
Florid insults glide out on her breath
Mostly ‘bout me (she says)
Can’t you see past the mirror sometimes?
Take a look at your peers
Stretching out all their half assed ideas
Into half assed careers
Tiger Lily, it’s four in the morning
Tiger Lily, you’ve got to stop calling me Can’t catch up with the hours you keep
Tiger Lily, just go back to sleep
How d’you keep up with all that goes on?
Names and dates set me reeling
But when you dialled those numbers that tallied with mine
Did you notice the time?
Where did it go?
Now it’s twilight outside and we’ve talked half the night
And what did we say?
Luck could change, maybe today
Baby’s talking it’s what she does best
I’ll just sit and agree
Contradictions glide out on her breath
Mostly ‘bout me And where went the time?
Now it’s twilight outside and we’ve talked half the night
And what did we say?
Luck could change, maybe today
