Blue Lips
Regina Spektor


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 and 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 arose
And began to breed

They started out beneath the knowledge tree
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And, marching along the railroad tracks
They smile real wide for the camera lenses.
They made it past the enemy lines
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
