Lyrics

Blue Stripes

Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me

You must be tired
You're working hard
And I'm happy you told me
You don't believe in hell
You don't have to be alone it's sickening
All she wants is a family

(Aaaah)

Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me

Ohhhh you were a quiet child
You were a sweet boy
And even when they beat you down
You never dropped your sword
You don't have to be alone it's sickening
All she wants is a family

Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
Around your new girl

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue strips
Around your new girl

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue strips
Around your new girl

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue strips
Around your new girl

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue strips
Around your new girl

You got your blue stripes
You got your blue stripes
You got your blue strips
Around your new girl

Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me
Don't look away from me
