Bruce Springsteen - Hey Blue Eyes lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Hey Blue Eyes lyrics]
They're holding a committee
Of treason and lies doublespeak and sedition
Then somebody dies
From the hill the smell of lilacs
And the repeat of guns
She closes the window, draws the blinds
Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah 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
Blood and silence prevail
Here the dead remain nameless
The nameless remain jailed
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright
In this house there's just the dust of bones
The basement's filled with lye
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, hey it's alright
She says in this house it's so easy
To set a world on fire
All you need is a name, 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 fucking begins
Hey blue eyes, yeah, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, hey it's alright
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright
Of treason and lies doublespeak and sedition
Then somebody dies
From the hill the smell of lilacs
And the repeat of guns
She closes the window, draws the blinds
Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah 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
Blood and silence prevail
Here the dead remain nameless
The nameless remain jailed
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright
In this house there's just the dust of bones
The basement's filled with lye
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, hey it's alright
She says in this house it's so easy
To set a world on fire
All you need is a name, 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 fucking begins
Hey blue eyes, yeah, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, hey it's alright
Hey blue eyes, what you doing tonight?
Hey blue eyes, yeah it's alright
