Shiver, Shiver

Lyrics by Michael Oliva
From the CD "Modern Love"
(P) 2006 Getsemani Music (ASCAP)


I am stronger then I knew before
La da dee da dah
I’ve been hating waiting taking no more chances
On romances
Down to one, one more to run away
Far away beyond the sun

I’ve been banished from my own heart
Begging for a complete restart
That is when our pupils met each other’s
Green and blue and covered by long dark lashes
That clashed with mine as tongue and teeth entwined

Then she said darling can’t you stay awhile
I told her I was going out in style

No
I don’t
Know
What
I
Want

Crooked smiles pile in my brain
Yet I remain perfectly insane
That’s all the time that I have for you
The show is over, organs colder
Poison your liver; shake shiver, shiver and take
The break you earned so long

It goes to show
Nothing comes for free
Easy street is no reality
and in the hour you gain identity
The past erases who you used to be
