The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were gifts
You gave to the dark and the endless skies

To the dark and the endless skies
To the dark and the endless skies
To the dark and the endless skies
To the dark and the endless skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was then at my, that was then at my command, my love
That was then at my, that was then at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last 'til the end of time, my love
And last 'til the end of time
And last 'til the end of time
And last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face

The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Formed in 1983 as a small-town noise rock foursome, The Flaming Lips have gone through numerous lineup changes and style reinventions, ultimately settling on a consistent core in the late 1990s with frontman Wayne Coyne, chief composer Steven Drozd, and bassist Michael Ivins putting out sublime pop-rock with grandiose synth-orchestral backing arrangements.

Notable former band members include Wayne’s brother Mark Coyne, who was the band’s first vocalist, Jonathan Donahue, who went on to become the frontman of Mercury Rev, guitarist Ronald Jones, and roadie turned tour drummer Kliph Scurlock.

Once Wayne took over as frontman in the late 1980s, the Lips were known for their loud, psychedelic guitar rock (an aesthetic best summed up in the name of an early works compilation “Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid”) and wild stage antics.
