Hey Blue Eyes

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 ****ing 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
