Joseph Arthur - Blue Lips lyrics

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
