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

There's perfume burning in the air

Bits of beauty everywhere
Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt
Blue Alert

Blue Alert...
