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...
