Blue Lips

Joseph Arthur


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 
Sining 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
