Drops of Sunshine

from A Less than Perfect Peach by Blue Genes

lyrics

i can smell the contraindiction even before it leaves her mouth
floatin off the tongue of my thin gypsy queen
and i asked her about the things that she's seen
n she just answered me so serenely

and she spoke of a honey sweeter than the summer sun
and i said hey now baby when can i get some

and i saw her standin there lookin so remote in a black leather coat
as if she was a princess in a castle and needed a moat
to keep away all the liars and thieves, well that was once me
well i'm glad i escaped and headed out to sea

o but she showed me a honey sweeter than the summer sun
so thanks i say now baby for lendin me some
ah but these drops of sunshine, they now tangle my mind
ah but at least i know now what i'm tryin to find

well my eastern lady, she brings me oranges and oriental tea
o and kindly lent a hand and rescued me
but like a cat in heat she was sooo insistent
but once agreed with me that i was a failure of existence

o but she showed me honey sweeter than the summer sun
so thanks i say now baby for sharin some

o and my desert woman, well she deserted me
but i don't blame her for fleein to the land of sand
after all it was her that made me dancin man
and thoughts of her will always be close at hand

o cuz she showed me a honey sweeter than the summer sun
so thank you mama, for sharin some
o but these drops of sunshine, they now take up my time
o and they make me feel as if i've committed a crime
