SUZANNE VEGA lyrics : "It Makes Me Wonder"

The virgin mary on a chain
has hit me in the mouth again
as we explore the carnal score

of sacred and profane

Sulky boy won't drink his milk

mothers breast beneath the silk
remains untouched it's way too much
reject all of that ilk


I have to say it makes me wonder
if you are holding me

to the same blue flame that you are under
i feel you scolding me


Your virgin mary's in the way
hallucinate her face by day
obscure the view in front of you

it's me here made of clay

You're playing near that line so thin,

austerity? or just give in
to endless appetite,
embrace that white oblivion?


I have to say it makes me wonder
if you are holding me

to the same blue flame that you are under
i feel you scolding me


And why so high the expectation?
who could live up to this?
well, there's no time now for explanation

cold as an angel's kiss

I have to say it makes me wonder

if you were holding me
to that cold blue flame that you are under
when you were holding me
