C F
I became a thin blue flame
C F
Polished on a mountain range
C F
And over hills and fields I flew
C F
Wrapped up in a royal blue
Am
I flew over Royal City last night
C
A bullfighter on the horns of a new moon?s light
F
Caesar?s ghost I saw the war-time tides
C
The prince of Denmark?s father still and quiet
Am
And the whole world was looking to get drowned
C
Trees were a fist shaking themselves at the clouds
F
I looked over curtains and it was then that I knew
C
Only a full house gonna make it through
C F
I became a thin blue wire
Am
If God?s up there he?s in a cold dark room
C
The heavenly host are just the cold dark moons
F
He bent down and made the world in seven days
C
And ever since he?s been a?walking away
C F
I became a thin blue stream
Am
Borders soft with refugees
C
Streets a?swimming with amputees
F
It?s a Bible or a bullet they put over your heart
C
It?s getting harder and harder to tell them apart
Am
At night I make plans for a city laid down
C
Like the hips of a girl on the spring covered ground
F
Spirals and capitals like the twist of a script
C
Streets named for heroes that could almost exist
C F
I woke beneath a clear blue sky
Am
I heard my friends laughing out across the fields
C
The girls in the gloaming and the birds on the wheel
F
The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay
C
Cicadas electric in the heat of the day
