Lily of the Nile

Red dresses and 70's vinyl You watched me get wasted I watched you get high You kept me guessing for so long, I was putty in your hands Flashback to your lips on my neck Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black Twisted sheets and infantile smiles That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile I felt myself start to unravel Every tender touch pushed me further into exile An open-ended transaction that I desperately wanted to reconcile Flashback to your lips on my neck Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black Twisted sheets and infantile smiles That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile I thought I wanted to be used Thought I wouldn't get attached or feel abused Flashback to your lips on my neck Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black Twisted sheets and infantile smiles That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile
