Joe Jackson - Blue Flame lyrics

I've got some walls around me, too But they're not much compared to your house Fifty feet high, with barbed wire Guards on the top, aiming rifles at your lovers one by one And friends, too I've come with hands above my head I'm damned if I'll try to break your door down If you ever come out just call me I'll still be armed with the memory of one evening when you smiled At something Sadness spreads like a black stain But I know by now that's not all there is There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare And love's not something you decide to do You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there You tell me women get you down And as for men, they're all ba*tards I wonder what world you call home And I wish I could learn their language just enough to make you laugh Just one time Yes, it was nice to see you, too Although I'm never sure you mean it I pick up the tab and you won't thank me Not that I mind, but in my dreams it's all so different - we even kiss Imagine this Bitterness is a black hole But you know by now you got more to give There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare And love's not something you decide to do You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there Impossible to love if love was not for some strange reason there
