Blue Lips Lyrics - Joseph Arthur

I prayed to god from hell 

Run like a midnight bell 

Dancing naked in these streets 

Thought I was Jesus Christ 

As I dug out my eyes 

And threw them past the prison gates 

So I still can't explain 

What I had to do 

To try and make it 

Since your red lips turned blue 

Now I'm a hunted man 

Singing the song you sung 

Wearing the noose from which you hung 

I guess we lost the war 

The air I breathed before 

Only fill the dead man's lungs 

So I still can't explain 

What I had to do 

To try and make it 

Since your red lips turned blue 

The devil is the lord 

Of this confusing world 

Where all the wrong dreams come true 

I never needed light 

I never felt like I was right 

Did not deserve the love I knew 

So I still can't explain 

What I had to do 

To try and make it 

Since your red lips turned blue
