Blues in the Dark - The Soft Boys

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
