Lady Lilith

Lady Lilith get out of my head
damn the sex-tip astrology that led me to your bed and
to your heart and down the highway
drunk-driving on a Saturday

Jesus Christ take a sinner's hand
help him accept what he don't understand
and I’ll keep moving down the road
just hit Nashville three days ago

I was an idiot, punch-drunk Gemini
an Aries sorceress as shady as an alibi
I would have given you my rib if you wanted it
god knows I ate that apple in a split-second
god knows, yeah god knows

so now, we stand at the edge
somehow we got lost staring at the map
nowhere to go and no way back

Like fire and gasoline,
why do we treat each other so mean?
sometimes we say some things
those were the nights with Lady Lilith

She'll give you pleasure, give you pain
pull out the sacred from the profane
dancing naked in the woods
burn them both, the evil and the good

Babe, I worry about you, heard you’re living in the city now
smile and wave, exchanging glances when I see you out
I would have given you the world if you wanted it
but everyone know, you already had it
you had it, yeah you've got it

so now, we stand at the edge
somehow we got lost staring at the map
nowhere to go and no way back
Like fire and gasoline,
Baby, why do we treat each other so mean?
sometimes we say some things
I miss the nights with lady Lilith

On Dearest Echo, Allen matches thick, ambient guitar and synthesizer with Britpop melodies for an approximation of Radiohead, or Wilco at its most expansive. Allen’s solid voice has a forlorn quality that works with the music’s depressive tone. ... more
