Lyrics

Blacklips

[Verse 1]

Blacklips, they’re made to pucker

Blacklips, wrap them ‘round a sucker

Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh

[Verse 2]

Blacklips, cause we’re living on borrowed time

It happened to a friend of mine

Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh

[Chorus]

And to the funeral I do wear blacklips

To signify despair

[Verse 3]

Blacklips, do you have the Bubonic plague?

(Blacklips) or do you worship the Marquis de Sade?

Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh

[Verse 4]

(Blacklips) I wear them 24 hours a day

(Blacklips) I try to scrub them off but they won’t go away

Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh

[Chorus]

And to the funeral I do wear blacklips

To signify despair

[Outro]

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh)

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh)

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips)

(Blacklips, blacklips, blacklips, ooh)
