He stumbled into faith and thought
"God, this is all there is?"
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe
And all the Gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue
Blue lips, blue veins
He took a step but then felt tired
He said, "I'll rest a little while"
But when he tried to walk again
He wasn't a child
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
And no one ever smiled
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
He stumbled into faith and thought
"God, this is all there is?"
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe
And no one saw and no one heard
They just followed the lead
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breed
They started out beneath the knowledge tree
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And, marching along the railroad tracks
They smile real wide for the camera lenses
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
Blue lips,blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
