My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count)

Billy Strayhorn, Elvis Costello

[Verse 1]
As the last light glimmers
And the evening hours dim
Maybe I'm too proud to utter it out loud
Even though my flame burns blue

[Verse 2]
As the night's descending
Once again I find I'll
Tarry and pretend my confidential friend
Will suddenly appear in view

[Bridge]
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors, let in the light
Falling dust in the beam and a small stifled scream

[Verse 3]
Alibis and decoys
Were his eyes so turquoise?
Covered with a lash they flatter and they flash
Even though my flame burns blue

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
If i seem a stranger
I feel far from danger
We tamper and we toy with passion over joy
Even though my flame burns blue

[Outro]
Even though the fire that once was desire
Doesn't look for trouble or dare to flare
Look now and I won't be there
I won't, I won't be there
I won't be there
