lyrics

Lyrics: BLUE FLAME

There’s a blue flame
Burning daily in my heart
And I can't tell whether Im failing

The slightest perturbation
Will blow it all apart
You’ll see my whole life
Tied to the railings

Band of brothers and
Band of gold
Ban the bomb and
Bambinos

Is there still such a thing as children's clothes
Sacred cows
And the life I chose?

I’ll hold the taxi
While you lock up all our dreams
Where is that fruitless stand
We’ve been making
There’s an ice cold finger
Picking at my seams
What is left
Is ours for the taking

Bottled water and
Battle scars
Women love babies
And men love cars
I never did feel
Relaxed in bars
Even open sewers
Can reflect the stars

If all I am is a zillion
Vibrating little strings
And all the mass and force
That they carry
If there’s a god
There wont be much room left for him
Until he shows that he cares
For my family
Bread of heaven
And toast and cheese
Excuse my reticence
I’ll save my knees
Who will benefit
Who gets rich?
Which omnipotent
Would stone the bitch?

Yes I'm a traveller
And I carry this for you
I hope the noise you’re in
Lets you hear it
If we don't do the things
We really ought to do
They will remain undone
In our children
Six remotes in the living room
You really should try to cross it soon
Of course it matters
How you make him feel
He’ll take the charity
But hates the deal

There’s a blue flame
Burning daily in my heart
And I cant tell whether Im failing.
