lady blue - as cities burn

I can explain why I cannot give my heart back.
I left it with my Lady Blue.
What was her name?
She flew in, I caught her.
I was a fool to let her go.
She goes, she goes with her hollow bones, she goes.
Every year she's back for the season.
I have to keep my windows closed.
I couldn't shake what my mother warned me of.
Try to keep me safe between the pews.
I stepped away, saw that Love was outside.
She wore a name, just a different one.
They all say,
'I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind.
They found a way out of God's love.'
She goes, she goes with her hollow bones.
Keeping it pretty is getting pretty old.
Keeping it pretty is getting pretty old.
It's getting pretty old.
Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she wont stay dead.
Stay down.
There's an awful lot of holes I gotta dig,
when I know you're gonna climb back up again.
Stay dead. Stay down.
Stay dead. Stay down.
Stay across the sea, but I know where you'll be.
When I look around and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she won't stay dead.
Stay down.
Lady you're a lure, dancing on the bar.
Oh-ho, you know you are.
You call em' to the door, hook em' in the jaw.
Just for tonight, right?
But maybe when you're bored with the easy caught,
and when I can't afford another empty touch,
maybe then we'll board our ships with a couple crashing hearts.
Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she stay dead.
Stay down.
Round and round we go, we go around.
Round and round we go, she won't get out of my head.
Stay in the ground.
She won't get out of my head.
Stay in the ground.
She won't stay dead. She won't stay down.
She won't stay dead. She won't stay down.
She won't stay dead. (She goes.)
She won't stay down. (She goes.)
She won't stay
