Bruce Springsteen - Hey Blue Eyes Lyrics
They're holding a committee of treason and liesDouble speak and sedition then somebody diesFrom the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of gunsWhen she closes the window and draws the blinds her first touch sucks the air from my lungsHey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonightHey Blue Eyes, it's alrightShe says, "In this house we've abandoned history, in this house there are no lawsJust the false taste of paradise and then the fallIn this house the guilty go unpunished and blood and silence prevailHere the dead remain nameless, the nameless remain jailed"Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonightHey Blue Eyes, it's alrightIn this house there's just the dust of bones, the basement's filled with liarsIn this house our sons and daughters are spilled like wineSo come close my pretty darling and let me feel your diseaseTonight I'll have you ***** and crawling at the end of my leashHey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonightHey Blue Eyes, it's alrightShe says, "In this house it's so easy to set a world on fireAll you need is the need and the money and a soul full of reckless desireUpstairs the landlord is dining here with his criminal friendsDon't worry, they'll have the bags packed and be long gone before the real *****ing begins"Hey Blue Eyes, yeah, what you doing tonightHey Blue Eyes, it's alrightHey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonightHey Blue Eyes, it's alright
