The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day

Grant-Lee Phillips, "Lily-A-Passion" from Virginia Creeper (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: Grant-Lee Phillips played the otherwise unnamed Town Troubadour on Gilmore Girls.
"Hey, she's a piratey soul,
Full of vinegar and glitter,
She is a song of her own
From down the wrong end of the river.

"Wild, like the lily-a-passion,
Have you ever had the honors?
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no way.

"When your carnival rose
Sows the kiss of belladonna,
There ain't no takin' it slow
For the avalanche's daughter.

"Wild, like the lily-a-passion,
Have you ever had the honors?
Whoa, no, no,
Whoa, no, no,
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no way.

"She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-uh huh.

"She is a canary royal,
Save the curse of Desdemona,
Bright, bright, bright is the blush of her smile,
Like the apples of Pomona.

"Wild, like the lily-a-passion,
Have you ever had the honors?
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no way,
No way.

"Hey, she's the fork in the road
When the road has come to splinter,
Yeah, she's the spark in the coke
Come the bitterness of winter.

"Wild, like the lily-a-passion,
Have you ever had the honors?
Whoa, no, no,
Whoa, no, no,
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no way.

"She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-a-passion,
She is the lily-uh huh."
