Vanilla Drip

**[Verse 1]** The sun’s a laser, cutting through the July haze Vanilla dripping, creeping down my thigh You’re staring at the mess like you wanna taste But I’m not letting anybody inside Not today **[Pre-Chorus]** Cold… cold… You’re burning up my shadow Cold… cold… It doesn’t reach me now **[Chorus]** You missed your chance You didn’t pick me up You wore me like jewelry Like it was natural Like I was gold But I’m not yours to hold I’m alive, I’m living I’m living better Better without your weight **[Verse 2]** Hanging off your wrist like a cheap charm Polished me ‘til I shone too bright Took me out when you wanted calm Put me back in the velvet box at night In the dark at night **[Pre-Chorus]** Cold… cold… You’re just a silver echo Cold… cold… It doesn’t reach me now **[Chorus]** You missed your chance You didn’t pick me up You wore me like jewelry Like it was natural Like I was gold But I’m not yours to hold I’m alive, I’m living I’m living better Better without your weight **[Bridge]** *(Psychedelischer Break – hier schwelzen die Synths/Gitarren)* Drip… drip… drip on the concrete Sun in my teeth, sun in my teeth Melting, melting, melting down I’m a puddle of light, I’m a puddle of sound No chain, no lock, no key Just the heat and the humming and me And me And me **[Guitar Break / Instrumental]** **[Verse 3]** My skin is sticky, but my hands are clean I bought this ice cream with my own change You’re still standing in the shade, it seems While I’m swallowing the whole damn day The whole damn day **[Final Chorus]** You missed your chance You didn’t pick me up You used me like jewelry Like it was natural Like it was nothing at all But I’m alive, I’m living I’m living better Better without you Better without you Better without you **[Outro]** *(Verblassend, echoend, hypnotisch)* Cold… cold… It doesn’t affect me (Cold… cold…) Watch it melt Watch me melt Into the heat Into the street Alive Alive Alive
