A baby, young and sweet
A Maharashtra night, a city street
And I feel low
Hear her crying in her sleep
A blanket of newspaper sheets
By my window
There's no worse sound that I could hear
Or hope of life that I fear she'll never know
Oh those Bombay Blues
ย
And the harder you push her away
The sooner your heart turns a darker shade of grey
But the more you allow her in
The longer she'll crawl beneath the surface of your skin
Oh and now that I can see
How love becomes the enemy
They say there's nothing I can do
ย
But that's what they want you to believe
ย
Full moon party on the beach
Burning holy effigies on Summer sands
Temporarily mend the holes
In your chimerical soul
In a mystic land
ย
But all the beautiful things that you love
Will one day turn into the things that you despise
ย
'Cuz the darkness lives within
And the more that you hide it
The darker it stains your skin
Oh and now that I can see
How love becomes a memory
ย
And you say there's nothing you can do
If that's what you wanna believe
ย
Oh and now that I can see
How love becomes the enemy
You say there's nothing I can do
If that's what you wanna believe
There's clearly nothing I can say
That will make her go away
Don't say there's nothing I can do
If that's what you wanna believe
