Blue Lips

I prayed to god from hell

Run like a midnight bell

Dancing naked in these streets

Thought I was Jesus Christ

As I dug out my eyes

And threw them past the prison gates

So I still can't explain

What I had to do

To try and make it

Since your red lips turned blue

Now I'm a hunted man

Singing the song you sung

Wearing the noose from which you hung

I guess we lost the war

The air I breathed before

Only fill the dead man's lungs

So I still can't explain

What I had to do

To try and make it

Since your red lips turned blue

The devil is the lord

Of this confusing world

Where all the wrong dreams come true

I never needed light

I never felt like I was right

Did not deserve the love I knew

So I still can't explain

What I had to do

To try and make it

Since your red lips turned blue
