Strawberry Road Lyrics - Martinis & Bikinis - Sam Phillips

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers 

Under the eyes of fallen statues 

Dry blood they've never seen 

Pain is sharper when I suspect 

The true love runs looking for us 

Like a lion in our dreams 

Strawberry Road where the dream fades 

Is down between our longing and desire 

Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love 

You censor longing 

And organize beauty because you're afraid 

You want it more than oxygen or light 

You can't get there 

With your morals or without love 

Lie down with me, the rules aren't always right 

Strawberry Road where the dream fades 

Is down between our longing and desire 

Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love 

Call it romance or nostalgia 

They hounder behind our memories 

We've buried it in code 

The things we've wanted 

When we get them are never enough 

Never what they seem but they lead us to the road 

Strawberry Road where the dream fades 

Is down between our longing and desire 

Strawberry Road where our hearts break into love
