My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count)

[Verse 1] As the last light glimmers And the evening hours dim Maybe I'm too proud to utter it out loud Even though my flame burns blue [Verse 2] As the night's descending Once again I find I'll Tarry and pretend my confidential friend Will suddenly appear in view [Bridge] All my might Between velvet and dynamite Blow out the doors, let in the light Falling dust in the beam and a small stifled scream [Verse 3] Alibis and decoys Were his eyes so turquoise? Covered with a lash they flatter and they flash Even though my flame burns blue [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 4] If i seem a stranger I feel far from danger We tamper and we toy with passion over joy Even though my flame burns blue [Outro] Even though the fire that once was desire Doesn't look for trouble or dare to flare Look now and I won't be there I won't, I won't be there I won't be there
