Destroyer - Blue Flower / Blue Flame Lyrics


Destroyer Lyrics

Blue Flower / Blue Flame Lyrics
Okay, fine,
even the sky looks like wine,
and everywhere I turn there's
a new face in town
stuck inside the well
fresh hells to attend to...

Blue flower, blue flame
a woman by another name is not a woman.

Don't know why,
don't know when,
a cathedral sick of the sky again
says to it--

"Oh, please not now! Will you just look at the time--it's standing still!"

Somewhere applause falls dead on the hillside...

Blue flower, blue flame
a woman by another name is not a woman.
I'll tell you what I mean by that.
Maybe not in seconds flat,
maybe not today...

Blue flower, blue flame
a woman by another name is not a woman.
I'll tell you what I mean by that.
Maybe not in seconds flat,
maybe never.

A gray ashen sadness rises like the sun, oh well.
It was time I decided to try this hotel:

Her world...

Tulip has an inner animal,
she's in it for a good time.
I was on the outs for a while
but now things are all right.

I gave you a flower because foxes travel light
and a penny for your thoughts was never enough--
your head gets filled with that stuff.
