lyrics

Deeper than The Name of the Rose

Your mouth is on a gradual lift
Suddenly a rocky decline
Your lips have a natural gift
For never making up their mind
There's a smile right under your nose
Aw, you bit yourself keeping it closed
Now, it's swollen like a river
Deeper than The Name of the Rose

Umberto Eco, echo, eh?
You know he’s got a lot on his mind
The way your lips look today
Leonardo would have taken his time
There's a twinkle right next to your mole
Call it a beauty mark, if you say so
The shade of red he'd give her
Deeper than The Name of the Rose

I know you must be sick of the guy
Saying, "How's about a little grin?"
Don't you break down and cry
Girl, you gotta hold it in
When you put out your lower lip
Aw, baby that's the way it goes
On a mighty strange trip
Deeper than The Name of the Rose

Your mouth is on a gradual lift
Suddenly that crazy decline
You don't have to get miffed
At the drop of a dime
Then you punch this guy right in the nose
You're watch in' as the red blood flows
Flowin' like a river
Deeper than The Name of the Rose
Well, I put out my lips to kiss her
And she landed a couple more blows
Now I'm swollen like a river
Deeper than The Name of the Rose

John D. Lamb Detroit, Michigan

Lamb spins a tale of love and woe full of true irony and forlorn humor…Lamb has given us a slice of life in which we find common ground, but is anything but commonplace…
