Purple Lips

From Drama of Exile1983

Written by Nico

Produced by Philippe Quilichini

Lyrics

Purple Lips

[Verse 1] He reminds me of a laughter That has left me going down And my heart is falling silently Into the driving evening sound [Verse 2] Sometimes we must keep from Bringing certain thoughts up to the light And a matter of the winning In a case of two words lies [Verse 3] I have been looking out for him From over this broken bridge The safest place it seems to be To ever reach his purple lips
