Joseph Arthur - Blue Lips Lyrics

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 singing the song you sung
Wearing the noose from which you hung
I guess we lost the war
The air I breathed before only fills 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

Ah
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah

The devil is the Lord of this confusing world
Where all the wrong dreams come true
I never needed light
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
