Lyrics
SAXOPHONE THE STONE
Verse 1 Crazy sexy love, play me with your lips,
You answer all my prayers with just a kiss,
Forests burn tonight, wouldn’t stop if I could,
Even if my body was made of wood.
Chorus Your fiery lips keep me burning bright…
I just follow smoke and find delight,
When the fire fades, just pick up that horn…and
Saxophone the stone and watch me burn.
Verse 2 Rubbing sticks is fun but light a match and learn…
Look at me that way I start to burn,
You can do it all, give me all you got,
Any way you play, my fire’s hot.
Chorus Your fiery lips keep me burning bright…
I just follow smoke and find delight,
When the fire fades, just pick up that horn…and
Saxophone the stone and watch me burn.
Verse 3 Squeeze a melon now, see how good it feels,
Squeeze a little more and it gets real,
When you sand a stone, you smooth an edge…
Every time you do gets me off the ledge.
Chorus Your fiery lips keep me burning bright…
I just follow smoke and find delight,
When the fire fades, just pick up that horn…and
Saxophone the stone and watch me burn.

Wow! Thank you. How can I improve the emotional impact & technical skill areas? I don’t understand the low memorability score, given your comments. Thanks. I wrote this to a song by Dave Stewart, called “Lily Was Here”, but before I realized it already had lyrics. It happened to be an instrumental I heard on YouTube. I did send the lyrics to him, but never heard back.
