Lilium by The Weather Machine Lyrics
Dance with me Gabriel
Among the flames
Can you see the way I do?
Sing with me scarecrow
Chase the birds away
As we sing our favorite tune
And give your praise to kingdoms past
To all those ghosts that thought they'd last
Oh, I'll be joining them soon
And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June
Miss Lilium would come and go and disappear
And then she'd show in a place you'd never seen here before
But elusive figure that she was
She'd still come out and talk because
You can't shape-shift all the time
She told her story of the sun
How she moved with summers on the run
From the biting, clawing cold
But her story was interrupted
By the winter of St. Petersburg
Oh no, no, no
To sing dance with me Gabriel
Among the flames
Can you see the way I do?
Sing with me scarecrow
Chase the birds away
As we sing our favorite tune
And give your praise to kingdoms past
To all those ghosts that thought they'd last
Oh, I'll be joining them soon
And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June
Miss Lilium put on a show
And everyone in town would go and fill up every single seat
But with curtains closed, they sat and stared
And wondered what would come from there
The rumors had been beyond belief
But soon enough, the show commenced
The girl emerged in present tense
The strange otherworldliness
Her gypsy music, magic tricks—
The way she danced had them transfixed
Until she vanished from the stage
To sing dance with me Gabriel
Among the flames
Can you see the way I do?
And sing with me scarecrow
Chase the birds away
As we sing our favorite tune
And give your praise to kingdoms past
To all those ghosts that thought they'd last
Oh, I'll be joining them soon
And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June
Among the flames
Can you see the way I do?
Sing with me scarecrow
Chase the birds away
As we sing our favorite tune
And give your praise to kingdoms past
To all those ghosts that thought they'd last
Oh, I'll be joining them soon
And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June
Miss Lilium would come and go and disappear
And then she'd show in a place you'd never seen here before
But elusive figure that she was
She'd still come out and talk because
You can't shape-shift all the time
She told her story of the sun
How she moved with summers on the run
From the biting, clawing cold
But her story was interrupted
By the winter of St. Petersburg
Oh no, no, no
To sing dance with me Gabriel
Among the flames
Can you see the way I do?
Sing with me scarecrow
Chase the birds away
As we sing our favorite tune
And give your praise to kingdoms past
To all those ghosts that thought they'd last
Oh, I'll be joining them soon
And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June

And everyone in town would go and fill up every single seat
But with curtains closed, they sat and stared

And I can see the fireflies
And how they danced behind your eyes
Oh, Miss Lillian June
