My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count)
[Verse 1]
As the last light glimmers
And 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 start to
Tarry and pretend my confidential friend
Will suddenly appear when you
[Bridge]
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors, let in the light
Falling dust in the beam and small stifled screams
[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 temper 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 be there
I won't, I won't, I won't
I won't be there
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around
As the last light glimmers
And 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 start to
Tarry and pretend my confidential friend
Will suddenly appear when you
[Bridge]
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors, let in the light
Falling dust in the beam and small stifled screams
[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 temper 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 be there
I won't, I won't, I won't
I won't be there
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around
