Are You Blue or Are You Blind?



Sleep clouds disperse and settle on my bed
Leave my eyes and cling like cobwebs to my head
It's like a book I've never read
The dust inside my head

Can't be bought!
And you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved!
There ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught!
The plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Down the evening rain falls waltzing round my feet
Paints reflections of the houses on my street
Drawn out as the night draws in
By the sound of laughing, the smell of sin

Can't be bought!
And you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved!
There ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught!
The plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Smile again for me as if you're going to say
"Nothing could have done all this then gone away!"
I may have just saved my life
On a childish whim or a pretty rhyme

Can't be bought!
And you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved!
There ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught!
The plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me

Can't be bought!
And you can keep tomorrow
Can't be saved!
There ain't no flies on me
Can't be caught!
The plague that ate your soul
Can keep away from me
