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
