  • 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
    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 the 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 awoke
    And began to breed

    They started off beneath the knowledge tree
    Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
    They marched along the railroad tracks
    And smiled real wide for the camera lenses
    They made it past the enemy lines
    Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

    Blue lips
    Blue veins
    Blue, the color of the planet from far, far away

    Blue lips
    Blue veins
    Blue, the color of the planet from far, far away

    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 Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
