Hey Blue Eyes Lyrics

They're holding a committee
Of treason and lies
Doublespeak and sedition
Then somebody dies

From the hill the smell of lilacs
And the repeat of guns
She closes the window, draws the blinds
Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs

Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright

She says in this house we've abandoned history
In this house there are no laws
Just the false taste of paradise
And then the fall

In this house the guilty go unpunished
Blood and silence prevail
Here the dead remain nameless
The nameless remain jailed

Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright

In this house there's just the dust of bones
The basement's filled with lye
In this house our sons and daughters
Are spilled like wine

So come close my pretty darling
And let me feel your disease
Tonight I'll have you naked and crawling
At the end of my leash

Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight
Hey blue eyes, hey it's alright

She says in this house it's so easy
To set a world on fire
All you need is a name, the money
And a soul full of reckless desire

Upstairs the landlord is dining
Here with his criminal friends
Don't worry, they'll have the bags packed
And be long gone before the real fucking begins

Hey blue eyes, yeah, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, hey it's alright
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright
