|
They're holding a committee of treason and lies |
|
Double speak and sedition then somebody dies |
|
From the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of guns |
|
When she closes the window and draws the blinds her first touch sucks the air from my lungs |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright |
|
She says, "In this house we've abandoned history, in this house there are no laws |
|
Just the false taste of paradise and then the fall |
|
In this house the guilty go unpunished and blood and silence prevail |
|
Here the dead remain nameless, the nameless remain jailed" |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright |
|
In this house there's just the dust of bones, the basement's filled with liars |
|
In this house our sons and daughters are spilled like wine |
|
So come close my pretty darling and let me feel your disease |
|
Tonight I'll have you naked and crawling at the end of my leash |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright |
|
She says, "In this house it's so easy to set a world on fire |
|
All you need is the need and the money and a soul full of reckless desire |
|
Upstairs the landlord is dining here with his criminal friends |
|
Don't worry, they'll have the bags packed and be long gone before the real fucking begins" |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, yeah, what you doing tonight |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight |
|
Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright |
