Tigerlily
★La Roux Lyrics

Well tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you
Tonight, I am going to follow you out on the streets.

And tell you all about a scene that you would kill for
I will tell you all about an exciting scene that you would love to be a part of.

You're gonna love what's running right in front of you
There's something you're going to enjoy in front of you right now.

But you won't see it by the light of the sun
However, you won't be able to see it clearly in broad daylight.

Come out tigerlily, you're caressing me
Come out and join me, tigerlily, you're making me feel good.

I'll take you up, I'll turn you on, I'll take your apathy
I will take you to new heights, make you feel alive, and get rid of your boredom.

I wouldn't lie to you blossom, won't you let it go
I won't deceive you, my dear, please let yourself go.

I'm gonna give you what you want and don't you know (That you)
I will give you what you desire, don't you already know that?

I know you better than this
I understand you more than you realize.

I could be here when you call
I am always available when you need me.

I'll make you top of the list
I will prioritize you above everyone else.

And in the crash of the dark
Even in the darkness,

I'll be your light in the mist
I will guide you through the haze.

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss
I can tell that you want a kiss badly.

Psychobabble all upon your lips
You're talking nonsense that doesn't make sense.

They can sell it all they want but you cannot agree
Others may try to make you believe it, but you won't agree.

I don't like the taste of damn morality
I dislike the taste of forced morality.

You'll find your bread and you butter where you fake it
You'll be successful where you pretend to be someone else.

And put your face in the gutter of a snake pit
You will end up in a bad situation with deceitful people.

But out communication is telepathy
However, we can communicate through telepathy.

What you give is what you get out of us naturally
What you give to us is what you will receive from us organically.

And we can wait 'til the shadow rolls along
We can wait until the darkness sets in.

And turn the page of the story that has long since found a home
We can begin a new chapter in our lives, one that we've been destined for.

Have you ever felt like you're being followed?
Have you ever felt like someone is stalking you?

Or watched the ones that held your stare?
Have you observed people who stare at you intently?

Turned around to see who's behind you to find there's no one there
Have you turned around only to discover that there's no one there?

Pra-lurking in the dark is someone who breathes you night and day
There's someone lurking in the shadows who thinks about you constantly.

There's a friend who wants so much more
There's a friend who desires more than just friendship.

But if they can't have you, they'll never let you walk away
And if they can't have you, they'll never let you go.
