(Curiosamente, ambas palabras las conozco originalmente de una misma fuente, los Smashing Pumpkins: la primera, obviamente, de "The everlasting gaze"; la segunda proviene de una canción del segundo disco de Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness llamada "Lily":
Lily, my one and only,
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
'Cause I'm hanging in the streets
in the hopes that she will
catch a glimpse of me
etc. etc.)
