Tigerlilly
Creature Feature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think I met you somewhere in my dreams
And you held this feeling deep inside
Let me with your Visions haunting Demon
And I wish so hard, I think I cried

Would you be?
Could you be?
Tigerlilly is your maiden name
And you seem so young and yet so wise
Your heart filled with so much tragedy
Though I'd only see it in your Eyes

Would you be?
Could you be?

Jesus Christ, please
You know what it is, what you mean to me
Take my Hand, please
Show me what it is, what I mean to be

Once you held me in your nervous blow
And I thought I never be the same
Now you've lost me in this drunkenness I get
So sleep away my guilt and shame

Would you be?
Could you be?

Jesus Christ, please
You know what it is what you mean to me




Take my Hand, please
Show me what it is, what I mean to be
