Joseph Arthur - Blue Lips

I prayed to god from hell
Run like a midnight bell
Dancing naked in these streets
Thought i was jesus christ
As i dug out my eyes
And threw them past the prison gates

So i still can't explain
What i had to do
To try and make it
Since your red lips turned blue

Now i'm a hunted man
Sining the song you sung
Wearing the noose from which you hung
I guess we lost the war
The air i breathed before
Only fill the dead man's lungs

So i still can't explain
What i had to do
To try and make it
Since your red lips turned blue

The devil is the lord
Of this confusing world
Where all the wrong dreams come true
I never needed light
I never felt like i was right
Did not deserve the love i knew

So i still can't explain
What i had to do
To try and make it
Since your red lips turned blue
