Violent Blue

Violent Blue (Now The Truth Can Be Told Album Version) - Steve Taylor

Hey don't I know you from some other life

You were wide eyed and green and a little bit

Taller

And you didn't look away when spoken to

Do you still take two sugars

You seem a little tense

And I can't help but notice how hard you appear

When I look into your eyes

A violent blue

Was it sudden was it clean

Were there a lot of shades in between

Step away

Let off

Throw it down

And lose yourself

Hey are you in there

Or don't you recall when the perfume of belief was

All we needed

It was all we needed to set our sights

So when did you throw out the rest of the

World

Deaf from the din of your self righteous babble

I think you've been blinded

By your own light

Was it hatred was it pride

Or did you just have a lot to hide

Come away

Throw down

Let it burn

And lose yourself

Passion

To ashes

To smouldering ruins

Let it be violent

Are you in there

Are you in there

Am I boring you

I could say more

We were destined for somewhere

But that was before you traded in your peace sign

For a finger

And I don't believe it's the way you were raised

Or the cards you were dealt

Or a poor self image

I think you love yourself too much

You want to rule some sovereign state

You want to smother in all that hate

Get away

Lay down

Strip it off

And lose yourself
