Baby Blue

Artists : Emiliana Torrini : Baby Blue

boxin' shadows in my sleep
it's the company I keep
the perfect exercise as I grow older

can't believe what God has done
he took the heat out of the sun
and now it seems the world is growin' colder

between the pleasure and the pain
wishin' your life away
no more sinister than sane
briefin' your life away
between the flicker and the flame
no one can explain
baby blue is born again

lookin' for some place to go
suckin' out screams in stereo
before my very eyes I saw her drowning

keep my daughter in a jar
she can't get out she won't go far
her heart is in my mouth but still keeps pounding

between the pleasure and the pain
wishin' your life away
no more sinister than sane
briefin' your life away
between the flicker and the flame
no one can explain
baby blue is born again

between the pleasure and the pain
wishin' your life away
no more sinister than sane
briefin' your life away
between the flicker and the flame
no one can explain
baby blue is born again
