Blue Lips
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
Blue lips
Blue veins
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 fast, real fast and no one ever smiled
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
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 the lead
The pictures in his mind awoke
And began to breed
They started off beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And they're marching along the railroad tracks
They smiled real wide for the camera lens
As they made it past the enemy line
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
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
"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
Blue lips
Blue veins
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 fast, real fast and no one ever smiled
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
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 the lead
The pictures in his mind awoke
And began to breed
They started off beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And they're marching along the railroad tracks
They smiled real wide for the camera lens
As they made it past the enemy line
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
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
