lyrics

Light my match upon the bass line
Wet my lips upon its groove
Feelin' pretty in the way I
Always know just when to move

Jaded pearls upon my fingers
Pearly words upon my tongue
Speak 'em slow, and let 'em linger
Like the smoke from which is hung

Your perfume a velvet snare
Clears your way as you draw near
Gazing down i do not dare
Only knowing what I hear

Brush your gaze along my body
While I move like liquid sand
Hoping you will find me godly
And approach me as I am

Lay it thick upon me Lola
Thick n heavy like the rain
Round and round I'm spinnin' Lola
Hopin you will come my way

I am pretty for you Lola
Painted silks upon my skin
Won't 'cha let me get to know ya
And just groove the mess we're in

May we dance in ancient patterns
Drawn like veins while we spin
Retrograde, you are my Saturn
Never can i pull you in

Flesh of gold and emerald spices
Blush of crimson on my throat
Rivers and folds, meant to entice you
To discover what's below

Wary you move a little closer
Keepin' your distance while we turn
You are the judge of my composure
I am just here to make you purr

Wild we whirl in mystic circles
Connecting deep within our soles
You are the golden to my purple
I am a fragment of your whole

Glitter of sequins in the moonlight
Pretty we wander, never do right
I wear my heart just like my blue eyes
Close to the fire

We drum the rhythm in the back seat
Heavy breathin' and a back beat
Sticky and steamin' you can have me
However you like

Lay it thick upon me Lola
Thick n heavy like the rain
Round and round I'm spinnin' Lola
Hopin' you will come my way

I am pretty for you Lola
Painted silks upon my skin
Won't 'cha let me get to know ya
And just groove the mess we're in

Getting peachy, getting high
Let it drip all down my thigh
I said my piece, told my lie
Now my truth is in the fire
Watch it leap, watch it fly
Fragments of a lullaby
I never sleep 'cause i find
That it keeps the dream alive
