Analysis of Quit Lives
One in a million times
I'm a bottled black dime
Coasting in my touch
Never to let it rust
Fields covered dust
Come, come and love me like the walls walked through the windows blew
Real covered lust, don't let me listen
Is like most of us so fooled
Once in a million times
I'm a bottled black dime
Drifted my heels, never meant so real
Keeping it right, whispering your life to kneel with just one kiss always will miss.
