Little Boy Blue

(Go back)

LITTLE BOY BLUE

Bring me a mirror and pastels
I'll draw you from out of myself
Ain't we both on the same
Entwining spiral slide
Goin' down?

Clash of a dragon tail and god
Then you became the lightning rod
Banished into the wild
The scandal of our tribe
Your travelin' gown

Little Boy Blue
The horn is blowin'
Little Boy Blue
Callin' you home

Bring me an arrow and some twine
I'll pierce 'n tie your heart to mine
Ain't it outrageous
How we spit into the face of fate
And live to tell?

There is a bridge on fragile stilts
Between the shores of death and guilt
There is a raging river
Flooding all the gates
And you know it well.

Little Boy Blue
The horn is blowin'
Little Boy Blue
Callin' you home

Your fog machine
Is runnin' outta steam
Your head is spinnin' in the clouds
I see you tumblin'
And I wanna scream
Forgive me if I cry out loud

I fell asleep thinkin' of you
Into a dream that felt so true
(Can you wake me?)
There was a murder
And detectives at my door…

Little Boy Blue
The horn is blown
Little Boy Blue
Callin' you home.
