Lyric: World of Limes

In a series. I'll post the song that goes with this as soon as it's finished.

My nightmare was a dream just yesterday
You the line-up pin-up girl
The one who everybody said was guilty
The one for me
You did not kill me then
You just danced across my moves
Said it won’t touch you as if you knew
In the sewer you looked too far
Down the rabbit hole at stars
There’s no need
For the day
Evening queen
Hide away

Wishin’ we were going the right wrong way
In a car
Sirens call then I hear that shot
Wonder where you are

I lost you in a project lounge and grill
Found you at the pay phone bell
The places in between they said they saw you there
I knew they were never near the truth
Everything was make-believe
Like every time you said you’d leave
It’s still so real our world of limes
Down the darkened shades of time
There’s no need
For the day
Evening woman
Slip away

Wishin’ we were going the right wrong way
In a car
Sirens call then I hear that shot
Wonder where you are

You were
Meaner than the world
Better than my word
Crueler than my love
Kinder than the way you let me fall
Through the evening’s shawl
