Kiss Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Houyhnhnm64 

Cover art for Kiss Me lyrics by Tom Waits

A song about the challenge for any longlasting relationship: how to keep the thrill and passion? The thrill of love makes us feel alive, while the lack of it leads to anxieties about death and loneliness. An affair may be a solution, for the monogamist it is perhaps worth a try to kiss your partner ‘as a stranger’. An existencialist song; it seems to me one of the best on the new record.
