Nothing's the way it seems
I got caught up in your schemes
My revolution's starting now
It’s your love of speed that’ll slow me down
Lila let me be your pacifier
Let me be the coffee you require
Let me be the coat in your attire
Lila let me be your pacifier
Come on Lila tell me that you care
What am I doing here
You're making patience my career
You know my numbered days descend with that ebb-tide feeling in my head
Sweeps of time with nothing to do
In search of some other April fool
In my cavalier parade I'm marched upon as you stand and wave
Lila let me be your pacifier
Let me be the coffee you require
Come on Lila tell me that you care
Lila let me be your pacifier
Let me be the coat in your attire
Come on Lila tell me that you care
Just tell me that you care
Tell me that you care

Behind The Song...
Lila
I wrote this song with my then Boss at Chrysalis Publishing Evon Handras. We would sit in her small office and talk music for hours. I would go through the box of demo tapes we would get and do my best to respond with constructive feedback. Though I never wrote, “don’t quit your day job”, there were many times where I would not have been faulted. The sad part of it is some of our actually signed writers deserved such feedback.
The song title is a play on the fact the subject of the song is a lier. I recall Evon came up with the bridge. I always liked the pop approach we used. No fat on the bones with this one. That is a good way to approach songs.
