Thin Blue Flame - Josh Ritter[00:00:00]

I became a thin blue flame[00:00:18]

Polished on a mountain range[00:00:20]

And over hills and fields I flew[00:00:27]

Wrapped up in a royal blue[00:00:35]

I flew over Royal City last night[00:00:42]

A bullfighter on the horns of a new moon＇s light Caesar＇s ghost[00:00:46]

I saw the war-time tides[00:00:50]

The prince of Denmark＇s father still and quiet[00:00:52]

And the whole world was looking to get drowned[00:00:56]

Trees were a fist shaking themselves at the clouds[00:01:01]

I looked over curtains and it was then that I knew[00:01:04]

Only a full house gonna make it through[00:01:08]

I became a thin blue wire[00:01:12]

That held the world above the fire[00:01:17]

And so it was I saw behind[00:01:27]

Heaven＇s just a thin blue line[00:01:33]

If God＇s up there he＇s in a cold dark room[00:01:40]

The heavenly host are just the cold dark moons[00:01:45]

He bent down and made the world in seven days[00:01:48]

And ever since he＇s been a＇walking away[00:01:50]

Mixing with nitrogen in lonely holes[00:01:55]

Where neither seraphim or raindrops go[00:01:58]

I see an old man wandering the halls alone[00:02:01]

Only a full house gonna make a home[00:02:05]

I became a thin blue stream[00:02:09]

The smoke between asleep and dreams[00:02:15]

And in that clear blue undertow[00:02:23]

I saw Royal City far below[00:02:31]

Borders soft with refugees[00:02:39]

Streets a＇swimming with amputees[00:02:42]

It＇s a Bible or a bullet they put over your heart[00:02:46]

It＇s getting harder and harder to tell them apart[00:02:49]

Days are nights and the nights are long[00:02:52]

Beating hearts blossom into walking bombs[00:02:55]

And those still looking in the clear blue sky for a sign[00:02:59]

Get missiles from so high they might as well be divine[00:03:03]

Now the wolves are howling at our door[00:03:06]

Singing bout vengeance like it＇s the joy of the Lord[00:03:10]

Bringing justice to the enemies not the other way round[00:03:13]

If what＇s loosed on earth will be loosed up on high[00:03:20]

It＇s a Hell of a Heaven we must go to when we die[00:03:24]

Where even Laurel begs Hardy for vengeance please[00:03:27]

The fat man is crying on his hands and his knees[00:03:30]

Back in the peacetime he caught roses on the stage[00:03:35]

Now he twists indecision takes bourbon for rage[00:03:38]

Lead pellets peppering aluminum[00:03:42]

Halcyon laudanum and Opium[00:03:45]

Sings kiss thee hardy this poisoned cup[00:03:49]

His winding sheet is busy winding up[00:03:53]

In darkness he looks for the light that has died[00:03:56]

But you need faith for the same reasons that it＇s so hard to find[00:04:00]

And this whole thing is headed for a terrible wreck[00:04:04]

And like good tragedy that＇s what we expect[00:04:07]

At night I make plans for a city laid down[00:04:12]

Like the hips of a girl on the spring covered ground[00:04:44]

Spirals and capitals like the twist of a script[00:04:49]

Streets named for heroes that could almost exist[00:04:52]

The fruit trees of Eden and the gardens that seem[00:04:56]

To float like the smoke from a lithium dream[00:04:59]

Cedar trees growing in the cool of the squares[00:05:02]

The young women walking in the portals of prayer[00:05:06]

And the future glass buildings and the past an address[00:05:09]

And the weddings in pollen and the wine bottomless[00:05:13]

And all wrongs forgotten and all vengeance made right[00:05:16]

The suffering verbs put to sleep in the night[00:05:19]

The future descending like a bright chandelier[00:05:23]

And the world just beginning and the guests in good cheer[00:05:27]

In Royal City I fell into a trance[00:05:30]

Oh it＇s hell to believe there ain＇t a hell of a chance[00:05:33]

I woke beneath a clear blue sky[00:05:37]

The sun a shout the breeze a sigh[00:06:27]

My old hometown and the streets I knew[00:06:36]

Were wrapped up in a royal blue[00:06:42]

I heard my friends laughing out across the fields[00:06:50]

The girls in the gloaming and the birds on the wheel[00:06:55]

The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay[00:06:57]

Cicadas electric in the heat of the day[00:07:01]

A run of Three Sisters and the flush of the land[00:07:04]

And the lake was a diamond in the valley＇s hand[00:07:08]

The straight of the highway and the scattered out hearts[00:07:11]

They were coming together they pulling apart[00:07:15]

And angels everywhere were in my midst[00:07:18]

In the ones that I loved in the ones that I kissed[00:07:21]

I wondered what it was I＇d been looking for up above[00:07:25]

Heaven is so big there ain＇t no need to look up[00:07:28]

So I stopped looking for royal cities in the air[00:07:32]

Only a full house gonna have a prayer[00:07:35]
