He stumbled into faith and thought
God, this is all there is?
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe
And all the gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Blue lips, blue veins

He took a step, but then felt tired.
He said, "I'll rest a little while."
But when he tried to walk again,
He wasn't - a child.
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
And no one ever smiled

Blue lips, blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away.

He stumbled into faith and thought
"God, this is all there is?"
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe
And no one saw, and no one heard
They just followed the lead.
The pictures in his mind arose,
And began to breed.

They started out beneath the knowledge tree.
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences,
And, marching along the railroad tracks,
They smile real wide for the camera lenses.
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines.

Blue lips, blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away.
Blue lips, blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away

Blue, the most human color (3x)

Blue lips, blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
