Lips and Eyes
Skirmish: Fun with a random word li... (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #acousticrock I put “blank” and “glitter” together, fit in a few more words from the skirmish word list, then added verses about my own current issues with lips and eyes. Singing the praises of the superficial.
Lyrics
This week my lips look strange There’s been some kind of change It really looks like I Got them injected Maybe it happened at night On a flying saucer flight Aliens got me And I never suspected
Meanwhile I can make it a style
Fill in the blank with glitter This day will soon be over And people will only remember Your lips and eyes
Words fade to gray Before the end of the day No one here can say What’s inside No It’s only lips and eyes
My eyes have been shrinking for years Maybe it’s the salt in the tears Or maybe it’s caused By the cold of winter
But really they’re trying to make good On a traumatic childhood They’re smaller now but somehow They look bigger
And as for me There are more things to see
Fill in the blank with glitter This day will soon be over And people will only remember Your lips and eyes
Words fade to gray Before the end of the day No one here can say What’s inside No It’s only lips and eyes
Only the lips and eyes

Love how you sing "it's only lips and eyes" in the hook.
Lip injection alien abductions is such a funny image. I approve! And yes, the cold makes the eyes smaller. I'm convinced.
I had a lot of.fun listening to this song!

Some great lines, images and ideas here, the superficiality of modern life. Good work.
