Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 collidin' on a backdrop of blue
[Verse 2]
Blue lips, blue veins
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
[Verse 5]
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 awoke
And began to breed
[Verse 6]
They started off beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fence
And they're marchin' along the railroad tracks
They smiled real wide for the camera lens
As they made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
[Verse 7]
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
[Verse 8]
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
