The 88 - Blue Skies Are Black Again

Here come the broken mouth
Blown in from the South
Everything's sweet if it's said with a drawl
But underneath the charm
That'll do you harm
Take what you need, yeah, but don't take it all

Before the early light
Rose up red and white
I caught the blues in the back of your car
With no more rules to bend
No more notes to send
Red eyes and please only get you so far

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I hear it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

Your mouth is movin' and my face is on fire
If I said you were sweet
Well I'd be a liar
And don't say another word
The dark gets darker when your words are heard

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I feel it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

This boy's in bed
Covering his head
He can't pretend, oh
So he tries
Covering his eyes
He can't decide, oh

I'm in overload
I've been feeling mean

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
