lyrics

I used to breathe blue flames
I spoke in solar flares
How I would to scream white sparks
Into the thick night air

I came here on my knees
Arrived all scorched and singed
Still bore the uniform
That’s worn by all burned things

The skin of your eyelids
A brittle chrysalis
The crystallised dried spit
Trod into these carpets

Seemed like a hopeless case
Maybe the worst you’d seen
I’d heard a brand new world above and underneath

Under the
deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me to death for the best part of a century?
A deep deep deep ultramarine could you love me?
Could you love me?

Made up like animals
Rabid and slathering
Marks of great beauty lay
Across a human skin

We’re going to work it out
One more unstable week
We’re spilling sweat and blood
I take it strong and sweet

A lasting happiness
Cannot be far from here
We wake up terrified
Kind of get off on fear

It was our last escape
We always crashed against
The barricaded gates
Of heaven anyway

Under a
deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me to death for the best part of a century?
A deep deep deep ultramarine could you love me?
Could you love me?

I know the rivers deep
But I think we can swim
It makes your cold wet clothes
All cling onto your skin

And we can tread the water
Till we ache and sting
For as long as you want
It’s never made us clean

Till every tongue will sing and every heart will stop
Come out into the sun
If just to warm your blood
Unholy madrigals
We used to scream out loud
But we all might be here for the last time now

Under the
deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me to death for the best part of a century?
A deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me?
Could you love me?

We saw the brightest futures ever prophesied
Grind to a jarring halt
And then the zeitgeist died but
If this love becomes
Automatic impulse
Something mechanical
Fades into background hum and sinks

Deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me to death for the best part of a century?
A deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me?
Could you love me?
Under a deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Deep deep deep ultramarine
Deep deep deep deep deep deep deep ultramarine
Could you love me?
Could you love me?
