wrapped up in a royal blue
I became a thin blue flame
Polished on a mountain range
And over hills and fields I flew
Wrapped up in a royal blue
I flew over Royal City last night- A bullfighter on the horns of a new moon's light
Caesar's ghost I saw the war-time tides -The prince of Denmark¹s father still and quiet
And the whole world was looking to get drowned. Trees were a fist shaking themselves at the clouds.
I looked over curtains and it was then that I knew, only a full house gonna make it through.
I became a thin blue wire
That held the world above the fire
And so it was I saw that behind -Heaven's just a thin blue line
If God's up there he's in a cold dark room. The heavenly host are just the cold dark moons.
He bent down and made the world in seven days, And ever since he's been walking away.
Mixing with nitrogen in lonely holes- Where neither seraphim or raindrops go.
I see an old man wandering the halls alone. Only a full house gonna make a home.
I woke beneath a clear blue sky
The sun a shout the breeze a sigh
My old hometown and the streets I knew,were wrapped up in a royal blue
I heard my friends laughing out across the fields. The girls in the gloaming and the birds on the wheel.
The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay, Cicadas electric in the heat of the day
A run of Three Sisters and the flush of the land, And the lake was a diamond in the valley's hand.
The straight of the highway and the scattered out hearts, They were coming together they were pulling apart
And angels everywhere were in my midst, In the ones that I loved in the ones that I kissed
I wondered what it was I'd been looking for up above -Heaven is so big there ain't no need to look up
So I stopped looking for royal cities in the air
Only a full house gonna have a prayer
Polished on a mountain range
And over hills and fields I flew
Wrapped up in a royal blue
I flew over Royal City last night- A bullfighter on the horns of a new moon's light
