 ELVIS COSTELLO - My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count) Lyrics

k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
As the last light glimmers
k17.16193i142205s..16i
And the evening hours dim
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Maybe I'm too proud to utter it out loud
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Even though my flame burns blue
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
As the night's descending
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Once again I find I'll tarry and pretend
k17.16193i142205s..16i
My confidential friend
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Will suddenly appear in view
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
All my might
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Between velvet and dynamite
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Blow out the doors
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Let in the light
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Falling dust in the beam
k17.16193i142205s..16i
And a small stifled scream
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
Alibis and decoys
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Were his eyes so turquoise?
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Covered with a lash
k17.16193i142205s..16i
They flatter and they flash
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Even though my flame burns blue
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
If I seem a stranger
k17.16193i142205s..16i
I feel far from danger
k17.16193i142205s..16i
We tamper and we toy
k17.16193i142205s..16i
With passion over joy
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Even though my flame burns blue
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
Even though the fire that once was desire
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Doesn't look for trouble or dare to flare
k17.16193i142205s..16i
Look now
k17.16193i142205s..16i
And I won't be there
k17.16193i142205s..16i

k17.16193i142205s..16i
