Imitation Of A Kiss lyrics

Song information

Artist: Blondie
Album: The Jazz Passengers: Individually Twisted

Lyrics

This is an imitation of a kiss
An imitation's all it is and when I kiss you, it may look like a kiss
Call it a kiss, this imitation of love

It's an imitation of romance
All hollow gestures and demands
You get agressive

So tired of routines, you go to extremes
This imitation of romance

There's a place I used to go, it's closed down long ago
I'd lie down there in your darkness watching rivers flow

Now it's an imitation of love
No one's fooling no one
And though you're here now, I'm so far away
Let's call it a day
This imitation of a kiss

When it looks like all is lost here something reappears
All my reasons leave the room now, leaving you still here

This is an imitation of goodbye
I say it's over all the time, yet I'm still with you
Don't know why it is I can't resist this imitation of a kiss
