Blue Alert Lyrics - Half The Perfect World - Madeleine Peyroux

There's perfume burning in the air 

Bits of beauty everywhere 

Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt 

She comes so close 

You feel her then 

She tells you No and No again 

Your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt 

Blue Alert 

Visions of her drawing near 

Arise, abide, and disappear 

You try to slow it down 

It doesn't work 

It's just another night I guess 

All tangled up in nakedness 

You even touch yourself 

You're such a flirt 

Blue Alert

You know how nights like this begin 

The kind of knot your heart gets in 

Any way you turn is going to hurt 

There's perfume burning in the air 

Bits of beauty everywhere 

Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt 

Blue Alert 

She breaks the rules so you can see 

She's wilder than you'll ever be 

You talk religion but she won't convert 

Her body's twenty stories high 

You try to look away, you try 

But all you want to do is get there first 

Blue Alert 

You know how nights like this begin 

The kind of knot your heart gets in 

Any way you turn is going to hurt
