Regina Spektor

he stumbled into faith and thought,
"God, this is all there is?"
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and all the gods in all the worlds
began colliding on a backdrop of blue
blue lips
F Dm Em (Dm)x8
blue veins
he took a step but then felt tired
he said, I'll rest a little while
but when he tried to walk again
he wasn't a child
and all the people hurried past
real fast and no one ever smiled
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
he stumbled into faith and thought,
"God, this is all there is?"
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and no one saw and no one heard
they just followed lead
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breed
they started off beneath the knowledge tree
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
and, marching along the railroad tracks,
they smile real wide for the camera lenses
they made it past the enemy lines
F Em Dm Bb C... F Em Dm Bb C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
blue...the most human color...
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
