Hey Blue Eyes

Hey Blue Eyes - Bruce Springsteen

They're holding a committee of treason and lies

Double speak and sedition then somebody dies

From the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of guns

When she closes the window and draws the blinds

Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs

Hey Blue Eyes what you doing tonight

Hey Blue Eyes 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

And blood and silence prevail

Here the dead remain nameless the nameless remain jailed

Hey Blue Eyes what you doing tonight

Hey Blue Eyes it's alright

In this house there's just the dust of bones

The basement's filled with liars

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 it's alright

She says in this house

It's so easy to set a world on fire

All you need is the need and 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 f**king begins

Hey Blue Eyes yeah what you doing tonight

Hey Blue Eyes it's alright

Hey Blue Eyes what you doing tonight

Hey Blue Eyes it's alright
