Lips That Are Not Mine

Mother I want to leave this body far behind Go for a walk in someone else's shoes Going out and kissing the world With lips that are not mine Mother I tried to be what you want of me Hustle to get me to the church on time Stepping out in peaches and pearls And lips that are not mine Tickle the tongues that wag Mother I want to see the other side to life Facing the earth not staring at the sky Going out and kissing the world With lips that are not mine Tickle the tongues that wag
