i feel strange in this world
of colorless light
drab people walking
through the unyielding night
i want to be free of the darkness
set me free of this gloom
restore my senses
with your perfume
once you said
"i will wear pink lipstick for you
every time we kiss
i will leave my heartprints on you
and one day i will be gone
you will remember me still
the taste of pink lipstick
my heart on your lips.
you were right i am cold
and the world bores me stiff
with its non-descript people
kissing with colorless lips
and on sad nights like this
i remember your kiss
the taste of pink lipstick
on my cold, lonely lips
once you said
"i will wear pink lipstick for you
every time we kiss
i will leave my heartprints on you
and one day i will be gone
you will remember me still
the taste of pink lipstick
my heart on your lips.
