Toyah – Blue Meanings lyrics

(Willcox / Bogen / Bush)

The big grey building breathes oxygen
Satanic mills, conceptive pills
Weave human beings out, in
Recycling grey dust into white snow
Then who knows?
Then who knows?
The grey building breathes grey vapours
Into cold icy skies
Cold icy skies
Crystals form in the grey building's hollow eyes

Black hollow eyes,
Spiky, unfurnished, unthinking eyes,
Black hollow eyes.

The red brick building competes with war
Cuts down the infants that crawl across it's floor
The young, the old, the red, the grey
Wars cannot alter what's here to stay
Desillusionists
Ambitions for all, intrude the skies, intrude my eyes

Black hollow eyes,
Spiky, unfurnished, unthinking eyes,
Black hollow eyes.

The big grey building breathes in oxygen
Satanic mills, conceptive pills
Weave human beings out, in
Recycling grey dust into white snow
Then who knows?
That big grey building breathes grey vapours
Into icy skies
Crystals form in the grey building's mascara eyes
Glossy, rebellious eyes
Diverse little things
Their naked Blue Meanings
Mascara eyes, glossy, rebellious eyes

Turning funnels intrude the skies
Stormy rooftops rip naked the sky
Blue Meanings, (weathered and old)
Ambitions for all intrude the skies, intrude my eyes, intrude the skies
Blue Meanings

Grey buildings, Blue Meanings, Intrude the skies, Intrude my eyes
Diverse things, Blue Meanings...

Peninsulas in the sky, ambitions for all intrude the skies
Your Blue Meanings block my eyes
Blue Meanings...
