V1
Lily’s a trip
She sleeps in the day
And wakes in the night with a glass of champagne
When everything’s quiet
She slips out the door
You can’t her feet cuz she glides 'cross the floor
Into the dark
Out of her room
She makes her escape
by the light of the moon
When nobody’s watching
That’s when she shines
From the back of the house
To the front of my mind

Blooms in the midnight hour

V2
Lily is plugged
Into the beyond
Her life is a lamp
And her soul is switched on
When she’s by my side
I feel it so deep
A constant vibration that
Can’t be released
Lily is strong
She’s fine on her own
She don’t need my arms
To make her feel at home
But someday I hope I can
Wrap them around her and
Show her the way that I feel about her

BRIDGE
She’s got a pretty song to sing, but
She’s only ever whispering
So if you wanna hear it
You really gotta listen in, or
You bet you’re gonna miss it, and then
She’ll be disappearing
V3
Lily's a punk
She don't give a funk
She don’t make a scene, she just
Does what she wants
And speaking of which
I'm catching her bug
And it's making me sick
Cuz I'm falling in love with
CH
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver
Show stopper
Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
Oh, yeah
She’s a dream weaver
She’s a punk rocker

Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman
