Steve Taylor - Violent Blue lyrics

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) Pa**ion 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*)
