lyrics
'Genie' lyrics by Conrad Williams:
It starts with an emotion,
A tearing of a peaceful sky
Thunder coming crashing in n
Carving up the silence of the night
Destroying what is beautiful
To watch as creation is defaced
Smash a diamond on the floor
Watch as the pieces race away
Cos Lichtenstein said its fine, you fall in love this time,
even if she says she don’t like you
But you’ll pay with something more, than just your cell phone call
When you ask her if she’d hold you too
So Beware of a crime scene, with the teeth, dripping with lust
Those shiny silver molten drops of love
She enjoys the crisis as she quickens the pace
But afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
Lichtenstein said its fine,
you go ahead and fall in love this time, tho she don’t like you
you’ll pay with something more, than just your cell phone call,
When you ask her if she’d hold you too cos,
It starts with an emotion,
A tearing of a peaceful sky
Thunder coming crashing in n
Carving up the silence of the night
Destroying what is beautiful
To watch as creation is defaced
Smash a diamond on the floor
Watch as the pieces race away
I won’t follow, I won’t get like thee.
I won’t be blinded, By your beauty.
I won’t stoop low, I won’t go that way.
I won’t be blinded, by your jealousy.
I won’t join you in the crime scene, with teeth, dripping with lust
Those shiny silver molten drops of love
She’ll enjoy the crisis when she quickens its pace
But afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
afterwards she leaves you in that stranded place
