Lyrics for Blue Rosebuds
I love you and 'cause I do My sky has changed >From grey to blue But blue's not just A color of the rainbow It's shade is not a hazy hue But pure and hard My blue sky blue It's like a Roman candle Coming rosebuds "Your words are empty hollow bleatings Of a mental crutch They're open-festered indigestion With a velvet touch An ether-eating Eskimo Would gag upon your sight Convulsed into oblivion >From laughter or from fright A coma with a swee t aroma Is your only dream Malignant with the misconception That a grunt can gleam Your lichen-covered corpuscles Are filthy to my fist Infection is your finest flower Mildewed in the mist." I love you and 'cause I do My skies have changed >From grey to blue But blue's not just a color Of the rainbow It's shade is not a hazy hue But pure and hard My blue sky blue It's like a Roman candle Coming rosebuds Blue rosebuds ----------------------------------------------------------
