innocent kiss
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss
There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss

a touch is much more easily rationalized
like the pressure of your knee where it's resting against mine
and if I can't forget it
I know I can explain it away
but if I took you by the back of the neck
there would be nothing more to say

There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss
There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss

you think that talking on the phone can keep us on safer ground
but if I said out loud would it make your hands sweat
would it make your head pound?
so I'm driving along asking riddles
like spirals circling round
I can deny the sensation but a word from my lips
would burn my alibi down

There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss
There is no innocent kiss
there's nothing simple in my kiss
