Lyrics Blues in the Dark - The Soft Boys

Blues in the Dark

Are your eyelids made of silver
Are your elbows made of gold
Is your heart all black and empty
Like a crater to behold
And your feet made of out nothing
As they dance across the plain
They’re swifter than an an orange
That unfurls inside a drain
Your front door and my old face
Watch them sinking without trace
Without trace
Come inside my little sparrow
Let me feed you to my soul
You are writhing in the furnace
Of the luxury you stole
Come you fair and tender creature
Oh whatever be your trade
Lie across the tattooed carpet
And prepare to lick the blade
Your old face and my front door
Watch them fade forevermore
Evermore
No I’ll never understand you
That’s just not what people do
They can fight and they can dribble
Till their memories are through
And I don’t know why I came here
But I’ll know it when I’m gone
'Cause tonight you looks so useless
Go on baby call me wrong
You’re the one I left you for
I don’t love you anymore
Anymore
