Green lights, let's go Back door, no show Back up, go slow Turn on the radio Oh-Uhuh-Oh-Uhuh-Uhuh-Oh Throw out the mundane flow Cat call, puppet show Downward dog, sloppy joe Wink wink, quid pro quo Hog tie, hello Bottoms up, Pernod Overdose on salmon roe Reject the status quo Bright lights, death row Ten down, free throw Strip down, electric glow Your yes is someone's no Give me your Oh-Uhuh-Oh-Uhuh-Uhuh-Oh Give me your Oh-Uhuh-Oh-Uhuh-Uhuh-Oh

Stay, please stay Don't walk away Coins come with two sides Can we make it past being human 'til the days we die? There will be cries. Stay, please stay I have wrinkles with your name A heart you have claimed A smile that became you Stay, please stay Here with me And touch the corners of my face And share this breath This rest This arabesque from two worlds real friends are likely to stab you in the back, they’re inclined to twist a knife as they try to get on track. It’s clean minds taped on dirty mind taps of my dear by draft, paper tears this craft, ink reflects those laughs and the times we shared - all the twists and drinks with lime I remember your stare...whenever I reminisce missing first embraces to the very last kiss. The last gift. The first day that began with a first step in a direction of a horizon that will swallow you up forever twisting your back but never giving you back leaving you with a photo to just wallow, you wept left, as a said fool on furniture looping your life, no beat thumperer no heart for your box and only freestyle your thoughts Love letters become props for posters and shit..sometimes filters for that greenery lift Now what I wouldn’t give for that greener tip of that lover side that other side. Truth predates lies but still remain eternal coldly you lay for our way memories become infernal stay And the vessel's empty You blinked me out Your perfume's stained our bed These ghosts I cannot wed These tears in vien I shed

Let's play a game Mother Goddess Let's play a game of rock paper scissors. Oak and Ash and Thorn I collect you, I collect all. I protect you, I protect all. Let's play a game of rock paper scissors Solid Real Complete I collect you, I collect all. I protect you, I protect all. And govern the rock weighs me. I'm full. From your lustful flesh. Your lustful eyes. Your prideful life. Let's play a game of rock paper scissors. Terry Jacobs West I collect you, I collect all. I collect you, I collect all. And govern the rock weighs me. I'm full. From your lustful flesh. Your lustful eyes. Your prideful life. Let's play a game of rock paper scissors. Oak and Ash and Thorn. Dust and Gold and Stone. Solid Real Complete. Terry Jacobs West. I'm so close to tears. You thought you knew me...

You and I must make it right Those words your burned were an over sight Don't overdose on your own ego You and I must make it right Let go Look below There's a thousand mirrors sitting pretty
7.	Spin 04:42	lyrics	buy track
I taste your breath, breathe in your soul Fingers touch and bodies roll Faders up, we lose control Fly for me, just let go Scratch the surface of the beat You're born again of my body heat scream my name on the mercy seat kisses have never tasted so sweet I've scratched you, left my mark Your mine now (Can't forget me if you wanted) I've scarred you, broken you Fixed you up (Can't forget me if you wanted) I'll turn you on, throw you down Greedy glances as I spin you around I'll speed you up, slow you down Don't be quiet, give me your sound Rub my words, under your skin Open my crate, select your sin Change the tempo, lights to dim Close the doors, dance within I've scratched you, left my mark Your mine now (Can't forget me if you wanted) I've scarred you, broken you Fixed you up (Can't forget me if you wanted) Blindfolds off, Needles are on I strip you down and mix you into this song Cut you up with my tongue Brand you now the music is strong Sweat with me Breathe with me Dance with me Give into my Renaissance
8.	Into These Lips 06:59	lyrics	buy track
Breathe life into these lips I beg of your fingertips Paint her crescent give the eclipse I beg of your hips Draw a map, circle the womb Leave the lights, turn on the room Fingers guide your mis-steps The criminal record of your heart Say it with confidence, without arrest Pull the strings, play the part I'm not responsible for the scars in your eyes Would it kill you to move my way Way beneath where your comfort lies Shed a layer, kiss the day
9.	Who's Your Lover: Half-Truths 06:36	lyrics	buy track
It's a Sunday afternoon The cat's asleep on the windowsill You said you'd see me soon I held back a smile It's a Monday afternoon My hands are shaking and my drink spills I tried to find the broom I held back a smile Its a Tuesday afternoon My purse is empty but for a dollar bill I tried to hum your tune I held back a smile It's a Wednesday afternoon I haven't eaten and I feel ill You think I am immune I held back a smile It's a Thursday afternoon The phone rings and I stand still I tried to find the broom I held a smile It's a Friday afternoon I stand up with my living will I looked up at the moon I held a smile It's a Saturday afternoon I leave the house and I'm dressed to kill I said I'd see you soon I said with a smile

about

kills to kisses is Lisa Dowling's alter-ego and the name of her electronic art-rock bass/vocal/looping project. She is a character Lisa created about a year and a half ago out of a need to have a more specific space for her own musical experiments in song writing that were different from her other projects. What began as an exploration into her identity as a bassist evolved to explore her identity as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and most importantly, a woman who creates. Creating a character provided a safe space for her to dig deeper into her own vulnerabilities, strengths, weaknesses and sensuality. After Lisa graduated from music school, she became interested in how she could write pop based music with contemporary classical techniques, gestures and colors and that challenge excited her. For example, she discovered that if she hit the bass tailpiece with the bow and looped it with a tremolo FX she had the beginnings of a really cool beat. The simplicity of these discoveries were inspiring. What she definitely wasn’t interested in was fulfilling the traditional bass player role in pop and rock music.

All the string sounds you hear on this album are made with a double bass.
