Lass Vicious
Old Man Luedecke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lass Vicious

Oh feel that spring fever, pouring through our open eyes
We were meant to be together, and I brush your wrist and sparks fly
I met you in the town of Dawson, where the Klondike river flows
We had sunlight streaming through our bodies, we had restless hearts and restless souls

But

Oh babe you're lass vicious
Oh babe you're just my style
Oh babe you're lass vicious
Come and sit with me a while

There was something fateful in our meeting
A fearful power in our eyes
The greatest things start growin'
Before you even realize

That
Oh babe you're lass vicious
Oh babe you're just my style
Oh babe you're lass vicious
Come and sit with me a while

Well we went down to Las Vegas
We blew it up with just a kiss
I declare our love lass vicious
I let them wonder what they've missed

That
Oh babe you're lass vicious
Oh babe you're just my style
Oh babe you're lass vicious
Come and sit with me a while

Oh babe you're lass vicious
Oh babe you're just my style

Oh babe you're lass vicious
Come and sit with me a while
