Lips Like Sugar
Echo And The Bunnymen · Killing Moon: The Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen [2007]
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides on water
She calls for you in the night
To share the moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you forgive her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what you know
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses, sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to another man's shores
To laugh when you're breaking
Your world she's forsaken
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never forgive her...
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
Loser and Winner
The king of Siam
And my siamese twin
Alone in the river
Mirror kisses, mirror kisses...
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses.....
