Blue Lips

by Regina Spektor



[Verse 1]

He stumbled into faith and thought,

"God, this is all there is."

The pictures in his mind arose

and began to breathe

And all the gods in all the worlds

began colliding on a backdrop of blue

[Interlude]

Blue lips, blue veins

[Verse 2]

He took a step, but then felt tired

He said, "I'll rest a little while."

But when he tried to walk again

he wasn't a child

And all the people hurried past, real fast

and no one ever smiled

[Chorus]

Blue lips, blue veins

Blue

The color of our planet from far, far away

Blue lips, blue veins

Blue

The color of our planet from far, far away

[Verse 3]

He stumbled into faith and thought,

"God, this is all there is."

The pictures in his mind arose

and began to breathe

And no one saw and no one heard

they just followed lead

The pictures in his mind arose

and began to breed

[Bridge]

They started off beneath the knowledge tree

then they chopped it down to make white picket fences

And then marching along the railroad tracks

they smiled real wide for the camera lenses

They made it past the enemy lines

just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

[Chorus]

Blue lips, blue veins

Blue

The color of our planet from far, far away

Blue lips, blue veins

Blue

The color of our planet from far, far away

Blue

The most human color

Blue

The most human color

Blue

The most human color

Blue lips, blue veins

Blue

The color of our planet from far, far away
