Couplet 1:

He stumbled* into faith and thought,                                 *(tomber sur, trouver par hasard)
“God this is all there is”
The pictures in his mind* arose                                                                                  *(esprit)
And began to breathe

And all the gods in all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop* of blue                                                         *(toile de fond)

Blue lips
Blue veins

He took a step* but then felt tired                                                                          *(un pas)
He said, “I'll rest a little while”
But when he tried to walk again
He wasn't a child
And all the people hurried past
Real fast and no one ever smiled
 

Chorus:
Blue lips
Blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away x2

Couplet 1

 

And no one saw and no one heard
They just followed lead
The pictures in his mind awoke
And began to breed

They started off beneath the knowledge tree
Then they chopped it down* to make white picket fences                                     *(abattre)
They marched along the railroad tracks
And smiled real wide for the camera lenses
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

Chorus


Blue, the most human color x3
