When the evening fades away I feel a breath from overseas On a flickering old TV Cartoons and funerals sing to me Every day for an hour or so I see these faces quizzed Taking care to explain to me Where they'll be when the atoms kiss Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be wasted Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be thrown away Oh here we go Big blues Here we go again Big blues When I see who should know best I know I should trust knowledge less Even now with nothing to lose I feel I'm risking everything Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be wasted Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be thrown away Oh here we go Big blues Here we go again Big blues How did the big blues get so big How did they last so long so wrong There ain't time to ask it twice Get it out of my garden and get it out of my life... My mind my body my soul My trinity has resolved It'll work if we make it work It's as physical as oil and gold Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be wasted Why when there's a weight of faith Should it all be thrown away Oh here we go Big blues Here we go again Big blues
