Before The Kiss Lyrics

    So grab your rose and ring side seat,
    We're back home at conry's bar
    The blond girl with her tattoo,
    Reds and wine, cokes of course

    Oh my suzy, my suzy,
    Why did we ever start
    It's morning now, you'd never know
    The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

    And underneath, the black light,
    Underneath it all
    Four and forty redheads meet,
    Come to doom 'til the dawn

    With threats of gas and rose motif
    Their lips apart like a swollen rose
    Their tongues extend, and then retract
    A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.

    Doors like flint and window panes
    An endless shadow bar
    The owner's boys have gone to work
    To stop big deals behind the bar

    While outside on the turnpike
    They got this new hit tune
    Where thrills become as cheap as gas
    And gas as cheap as thrills

    One thrill and mundane here at last
    Expect the cross one more
    Lecherous invisible
    Beware the limping cat

    Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
    Still ripe and fully bloomed
    A rose that's not from anywhere
    That you would know or i would care

    And the owners boys act most cheerfully
    Back home at conry's bar
    When their patrons' thoughts at last
    Grow too big for their skulls

    And awful things are happening
    We've let this drama fold
    And now the time has come at last
    To crush the motif of the rose.

    So grab your rose and ring side seat
    We're back home at conry's bar
    The blond girl with her tattoo
    Reds and wine, cokes of course

    Oh my suzy, my suzy
    Why did we ever start
    It's morning now, you'd never know
    The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark
