Name: Save Me
Duration: P00H03M25S
Description: In 1931, Herman Hupfeld reminded us that “a kiss is still a kiss,” and that sentiment rings true 90 years later. And while there may be nothing inherently noble about it, it may be the only real antidote to the frenzy of life in this century, the last, or the next. Maybe there is something redeeming about love after all.

about

In 1931, Herman Hupfeld reminded us that “a kiss is still a kiss,” and that sentiment rings true 90 years later. And while there may be nothing inherently noble about it, it may be the only real antidote to the frenzy of life in this century, the last, or the next. Maybe there is something redeeming about love after all.

lyrics

Empty…freezing
Drunk from the altar wine
I’m barely breathing
An insect in turpentine…

Broken, bleeding
Battered, left behind
Think of your troubles
And worries that plague your mind

The crowd on the sidewalk
The kiss of the summer sun
But think of your troubles
Your troubles have just begun

You lost your way, you have to pay
You have to meet your maker
You mustn’t try to overstay
The undertaker…

If you do what they tell you
They promise it’ll be alright
If you buy what they sell you then one kiss
Will set it right…
Well set it right, right now
