Lily of Casablanca
Lily's a trip
She sleeps in the day
And wakes in the night with a glass of champagne
When everything's quiet
She slips out the door
You can't hear her feet 'cause she glides 'cross the floor
Into the dark
Out of her room
She makes her escape by the light of the moon
When nobody's watching
That's when she shines
From the back of the house to the front of my mind
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver
Show stopper
Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
Lily is plugged
Into the beyond
Her life is a lamp and her soul is switched on
When she's by my side
I feel it so deep
A constant vibration that can't be released
Lily is strong
She's fine on her own
She don't need my arms to make her feel at home
But someday I hope I can
Wrap them around her and
Show her the way that I feel about her
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver
Show stopper
Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
She's got a pretty song to sing, but
She's only ever whispering
So if you wanna hear it
You really gotta listen in, or
You bet you're really gonna miss it, and then
She'll be disappearing
Lily's a punk
She don't give a funk
She don't make a scene, she just does what she wants
And speaking of which
I'm catching her bug
And it's making me sick 'cause I'm falling in love with
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver
Show stopper
Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
Oh, yeah
She's a dream weaver
She's a punk rocker
Lily of Casablanca
She sleeps in the day
And wakes in the night with a glass of champagne
When everything's quiet
She slips out the door
You can't hear her feet 'cause she glides 'cross the floor
Into the dark
Out of her room
She makes her escape by the light of the moon
When nobody's watching
That's when she shines
From the back of the house to the front of my mind
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver
Show stopper
Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
Lily is plugged
Into the beyond
Her life is a lamp and her soul is switched on
When she's by my side
I feel it so deep
A constant vibration that can't be released
Lily is strong
She's fine on her own
She don't need my arms to make her feel at home
But someday I hope I can
Wrap them around her and
Show her the way that I feel about her
Lily of Casablanca
Dream weaver

Blooms in the midnight hour
Lily of Casablanca
