The Tiger Lillies - Know What It Means lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Know What It Means lyrics]
Asks you to confess your dreams
I’m prepared to bet you wouldn’t expect
Or even know what they mean
They’ll burn in the fire all your desires
When you emerge you will be clean
So you contrive all the time you’re alive to
Effect that you know what it means
You know what it means you effect
That you know what it means
Is there good is there bad or are you just
Mad do you have a card to redeem
You smile and you joke at desire you poke
Is there anyone left now to dream
The gambler bets the old men forget
And nobody knows what it means
Is there good or bad or are you just
Mad do you have a card to redeem
At your funeral dirge you’ll
Be free to expurge
That it really didn’t mean a thing
The gambler bets the old men forget
And nobody knows what it means
