Lillies and Remains Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My body's moving
with some spirits
Keep my head up to light up a cigarette
My body's moving
to feel alive
Ah take someone out with slight regrets
Body wastes my time

Cause your working takes away my fear
Because all depends on you, my dear
Body wastes my time

My body's moving
with some spirits
Keep my head up to light up a cigarette
My body's moving
to feel alive
Ah take someone out with slight regrets
Body wastes my time

Body wastes my time

Cause your working takes away my fear
Because all depends on you, my dear

My body's moving
with some spirits
Keep my head up to light up a cigarette

My body's moving
with some spirits
Keep my head up to light up a cigarette

My body's moving

with some spirits
Keep my head up to light up a cigarette
