Steve Taylor feat. Chagall Guevara Lyrics
"Violent Blue"

Hey, don't I know you from some other life?
You were wide-eyed and green
And a little bit taller
And you didn't look away
When spoken to

Do you still take two sugars?
You seem a little tense
And I can't help but notice how hard you appear
When I look into your eyes
A violent blue

Was it sudden?
Was it clean?
Were there a lot of shades in between?

Step away
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Let off
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Throw it down
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
And lose yourself
(Na, na-na na, na-na)

H-Hey, are you in there?
Or don't you recall
When the perfume of belief was all we needed
It was all we needed to set our sights

So when did you throw out the rest of the world?
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble
I think you've been blinded by your own light

Was it hatred?
Was it pride?
Or did you just have a lot to hide?

Come away
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Throw down
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Let it burn
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
And lose yourself
(Na, na-na na, na-na)

Passion to ashes
To smoldering ruins
When I look into your violent...
Are you in there?
Are you in there?

Am I boring you?
I could say more
We were headed for somewhere
But that was before you traded in your peace sign
For a finger

And I don't believe it's the way you were raised
Or the cards you were dealt
Or a poor self-image
I think you love yourself too much

You want to rule some sovereign state?
You want to smother in all that hate?

Get away
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Lay down
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
Strip it off
(Na, na-na na, na-na)
And lose yourself
(Na, na-na na, na-na)

(*lots of "na, na, na"s*)
