LA ROUX LYRICS - Tigerlily

"Tigerlily"



Well tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you

And tell you all about a scene that you would kill for

You're gonna love what's running right in front of you

But you won't see it by the light of the sun

Come out tigerlily, you're caressing me

I'll take you up, I'll turn you on, I'll take your apathy

I wouldn't lie to you blossom, won't you let it go

I'm gonna give you what you want and don't you know...that you...



I know you better than this

I could be here when you call

I'll make you top of the list

And in the crash of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips



They can sell it all they want but you cannot agree

I don't like the taste of damn morality

You'll find your bread and you butter where you fake it

And put your face in the gutter of a snake pit

But out communication is telepathy

What you give is what you get out of us naturally

And we can wait 'til the shadow rolls along

And turn the page of the story that has long since found a home



I know you better than this

I could be here when you call

I'll make you top of the list

And in the crash of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips



Have you ever felt like you're being followed?

Or watched the ones that held your stare?

Turned around to see who's behind you to find there's no one there

Pra-lurking in the dark is someone who breathes you night and day

There's a friend who wants so much more

But if they can have you, they'll never let you walk away



And in the crash of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips
