Lyrics

Powder Blue

Your eyes are just like black spiders Your hair and dress in ribbons Babycakes In despair or incoherent, nothing in between China white, my bride tonight Smiling on the tiles Bring that minute back We never get so close as when The sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue, oh Stumble through the crowds together They're trying to ignore us That's okay I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin Sallow-skinned, starry-eyed Blessed in our sin Bring that minute back We never get so close to death, makes you so alive I share it all with you Powder blue, oh Yeah, yeah Hey, yeah Hey, yeah Bring that minute back We'll never get so close as when the sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue, ohh
