Lilith Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can have me
But I'll defend my child
By Spring the child will die

[Interlude]
Moon
The Moon, on
Moon
Moon, on

[Verse 2]
I'm just so warm, Jennifer
And I'm coming over
To sabotage our distance

[Chorus]
Moon will lead me on
Moon will guide me through, baby
Moon will guide me through
Moon will turn me on
(The Moon, the Moon, the Moon)

[Verse 3]
I just don't care anymore
'Cause my court is calling
It's me and truth, it's home
I'm at home with truth alone
[Chorus]
Moon will lead me on
Moon will guide us through
Moon will guide us through, baby
Moon will turn me on
(Moon, Moon, awoo!)

[Verse 4]
The Moon (Awoo!)
It guides me on baby
There's absolutely no doubt

[Outro]
Me and truth, it's home
I'm at home with truth alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Plaid say about "Lilith"?
Genius Answer

During a track by track interview with Future Music, Ed and Andy talk about the vocals on “Lilith”:

Andy: This has Björk on. We were hanging out a lot with her at that point and we were living quite close to her in London so managed to rope her in to do some vocals on this one.
Was she famous at the time? Yeah, it was post-Post, the album that seemed to bring her to public prominence in the UK. She’s an amazing person to work with. She’s very creative and doesn’t need much direction I’d say – at least working with us. She’s full of great ideas.

Ed: I think the track title comes from the school of thought that the Earth had a second moon and they gave it the name Lilith, as well.
