lyrics

Black licorice touching red lips in between Irish coffee sips.
Are you ticklish? She quips,
Desiring to feel satiated but she finds it hard to articulate it.

Black licorice touching red lips. Have you seen her looking devilish?
He ends up speaking only gibberish.
Desiring to be elevated but he finds it hard to articulate it.

It doesn’t matter if they all know what you’re up to.
It only matters that this guy’s in love with you.
How many revolutions until the conclusion that you want justifies the looks that you flaunt?

Black licorice touching red lips. She blushes while he fidgets.
He used to feel so insignificant
Now he just feels overrated with all of the zeal she’s speculated

It doesn’t matter if they all know what you’re up to.
It only matters that this guy’s in love with you.
How many revolutions until the conclusion that you want justifies the looks that you flaunt?

Then in the AM hours a trumpet solo blows away the sour notes that rang before.
For forty years or more!

Black licorice touching red lips. White fingers pawing fish nets.
Think of all the trouble that he gets himself into, uneducated.
Oh he can’t even spell articulated. No, no, no!

It doesn’t matter if they all know what you’re up to.
It only matters that this guy’s in love with you.
How many revolutions until the conclusion that you want justifies the looks that you flaunt?

Black licorice - red lips.
Black licorice - red lips.
Black licorice - red lips.
