Кукла
Чичерина Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Крестиком вышей лицо
И потрогай, не бойся,
Не останавливайся.
Больно – не больно...
Петельки точно считай,
Не ошибёшься –
Так кажется мне, yeah...
Красные ниточки слёз –
Всё правильно, только
Не надо всерьёз,
Не надо надолго
Ниточки слов –
Сквозь бусинки глаз.
Самое главное –
Строчки, иголочки, швы,
Зашитые вены...
Я плачу – ты улыбайся,
Двигаясь плавно.
Только живые цветы,
Цветные заплаты,
И на лице, yeah, yeah...
Красные ниточки слёз –
Всё правильно, только
Не надо всерьёз,
Не надо надолго
Ниточки слов –
Сквозь бусинки глаз.
Красные ниточки слёз –
Всё правильно, только
Не надо всерьёз,
Не надо надолго
Ниточки слов –
Сквозь бусинки глаз.
