Lipstick Jungle


She said, "I wanna live in a lipstick jungle
I wanna find what I'm searching for
I'm tired of rolling on soul and thunder
I just want something of my own"


I've been thinking
And I've been known to think too much
I've been drinking
And it's about time that I stopped

I've been sinking
I don't know what she knows
But I know that she's all I've got
So I'll go, yes, I'll go where she go

She said, "I wanna live in a lipstick jungle
I wanna be a million miles away
'Cause we're drifting in a fateless tumble
I know that things will never be the same"

I've been thinking
And I've been known to think too much
I've been drinking
And it's about time that I stopped

I've been sinking
I don't know what she knows
But I know that she's all I've got
So I'll go, yes, I'll go where she goes

And I wanna see the sun through her eyes
Wanna feel how she feels inside
Oh, as time floats by, time floats by

She wants to live in a lipstick jungle
Chasing rainbows through a salty sky
She's looking for a dream that she can handle
Falling under as time floats by

And I wanna see the sun through her eyes
Wanna feel how she feels inside
Oh, as time floats by, time flows by

To love and hold, she's burning cold
The lights are on but she's not home
When the wind blows like a rolling stone
I'll follow her, can't let her go

And all I know is what I'm told
And every day another piece of the puzzle unfolds
My mind explodes, it's feeling old
Tired of excuses, keep on pushing me out of control

Hey, I wanna see the sun through her eyes
Wanna feel how she feels inside
Oh, as time floats by

And I wanna see the sun through her eyes
Wanna feel how she feels inside
Oh, as time floats by, time flows by
