Ballad Of Grim And Lily lyrics

It`s six o`clock, the sun goes down

The hotel shudders with the sound Of Grim and Lily`s kiss good-bye

(Oh, baby, not good-bye)

Tired of their life of crime they make a plan for one last time



We`ll be on an island, far away, all alone

We`ll be on an island, tucked away, my love

We`re almost home



A painting of a velvet clown

Hides enough to skip this town

If Grim gets there before his boss

He`ll pull the final double-cross

Lily flicks her cigarette

Her face is tight and white and wet,

But Grim`s so tired of his gun

Says, "Lil, I wanna see the ocean"



We`ll be on an island, far away, all alone

We`ll be on an island, tucked away, my love

We`re almost home



Time is ticking, pulse is quickening

She`s sick about the thickness of this plot

Her fingers knot, the car is hot and it takes all the strength she`s got not to fall

apart when she hears the single shot



Lily bends to meet Grim`s face. As they hold hands, she whispers...

"We`ve come so far, we`re almost home, we`ve come so far. Don`t

give this up. Don`t give this up -- look in my eyes...

And you`ll see an island, far away, all alone. We`ll be on an island, tucked away, my

love, we`re almost home..."
