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 past Real fast and no one ever smiled Blue lips Blue veins Blue, the color of the 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 lead The pictures in his mind awoke And began to breed They started off beneath the knowledge tree Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences They marched along the railroad tracks And smiled 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 the planet from far, far away Blue lips Blue veins Blue, the color of the 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 --- Blue Lips - Regina Spektor
