As Black As Blood Is Blue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It could be my delusion
I would paint it in colors bold
If I could capture illusion
I would hang it up on my wall
If I could be something other
I would slip right inside your skin
See the world as another
See the world as I never did
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It needs no place to go
No way to hide from the light of electric soul
The light of an electric soul
Something wrong 'bout your praises
Something wrong 'bout them threatening
Hold your hand like a razor
Call it love but it's cutting me
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It's giving me no place to go
There's nowhere to run
From the light of electric soul
The light of an electric soul
Here I, here I
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It's giving me no place to go
There's nowhere to hide
From the light of electric soul
Nowhere to hide to hide
From the light of electric soul
Nowhere to hide to hide
From the light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
