Bruce Springsteen - Hey Blue Eyes lyrics

They're holding a committee of treason and lies Double speak and sedition then somebody dies From the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of guns When she closes the window and draws the blinds her first touch s**s the air from my lungs Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight Hey Blue Eyes, 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 and blood and silence prevail Here the dead remain nameless, the nameless remain jailed" Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright In this house there's just the dust of bones, the basement's filled with liars 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, it's alright She says, "In this house it's so easy to set a world on fire All you need is the need and 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 f**ing begins" Hey Blue Eyes, yeah, what you doing tonight Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight Hey Blue Eyes, it's alright
