MILK
S.O.D. - 1985 rehearsal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cry, you lie
As I clean up the milk
Don’t move
I cry, you lie
As I clean up the milk
I lie, you cry
But it’s already spilt
I lie, you cry

As I clean up the milk
I lie, you cry
But it’s already spilt
I’m tryna keep it together
Unraveling at the seams
I’m tryna keep it together
But nothing is as it seems
They appear without warning
My lovers, they haunt me
They just kiss and hold me
I’ll never be lonely
I cry, you lie
As I clean up the milk
I lie, you cry
But it’s already spilt
I lie, you cry
As I clean up the milk

I lie, you cry
But it’s already spilt
