Big Blues

When the evening fades away
I feel a breath from overseas
On a flickering old TV
Cartoons and funerals sing to me
Every day for an hour or so
I see these faces quizzed
Taking care to explain to me
Where they'll be when the atoms kiss
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be wasted
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be thrown away
Oh here we go
Big blues
Here we go again
Big blues
When I see who should know best
I know I should trust knowledge less
Even now with nothing to lose
I feel I'm risking everything
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be wasted
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be thrown away
Oh here we go
Big blues
Here we go again
Big blues
How did the big blues get so big
How did they last so long so wrong
There ain't time to ask it twice
Get it out of my garden and get it out of my life...
My mind my body my soul
My trinity has resolved
It'll work if we make it work
It's as physical as oil and gold
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be wasted
Why when there's a weight of faith
Should it all be thrown away
Oh here we go
Big blues
Here we go again
Big blues
