Tiger Striped Lily Lyrics by Ned Greenough

A Drop in the Bucket

2019

A tiger striped lily I found
On my way from walking in from the town
I gave it to you and it made you laugh
You said “What in God’s name is that?”
Though I couldn’t reply
I had to decide
That maybe later we could get down?
Do you wanna get down?
Baby let’s get down
Do you wanna get down, down?
A tiger striped lily for you
‘Cause I knew that you wanted me too
You said that we should go for a swim
I was hesitant ‘cause the light was dim
Though I had to give in
And go on a whim
‘Cause maybe later we could get down
Do you wanna get down?
Baby let’s get down
Do you wanna get down, down?
Icy cold adrenaline jumps me forward, feeling blood flow through my veins
You pull me underwater as I gasp for air inside this lustful cave
My senses are enhanced once I can tell you’ve moved the blockade in your mind
And with a special hint of body language, you suggest to move inside
Move inside
Move inside
Come to me
Let the warmth set you free
I’ll hold you close and say I’ll never let go
One should heed the call
It’d all be over by the fall
I’m not here to ruin more friendships
You and I were never close enough to call it that, to hell with it!
A tiger striped lily I found
On my way from walking in from the town
I gave it to you and it made you cry
You said “I want it tonight!”
And I had no reply
I couldn’t decide
Between the right thing and that look in your eye
But it’s ‘bout time I headed out
Show me the way out
Show me the way out
Baby let’s get down, down
Love’s a fickle thing
With all the problems it brings
You had me at first sight
I’m sorry tonight’s not the night
