Lyrics Blue Like Mars - Lloyd Cole

Baby you know it's not about you
Orbiting as it is around you
Soon to be clear
Beyond your domain

Doesn't it stink to be human?
Fallible, weak. So tiresome
How could a god create a beast so low?
How should I know?

Baby you know it's not about you

All of the bars around the black holes
Teeming with freedmen and glorioles
Waiting for new stars to break on through

Brokers and lawyers in the back rooms
Briefcases filled with profane sums
Cadillac waiting by the sub-space port
All aboard

Baby you know it's not about you
Baby you know it's not about you

Neutron Star
Beautiful remnant in the night sky
Blue like any other street light
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of nothing
Afraid of the future
When it's not about you

Baby you know it's not about you
Orbiting as it is around you
Soon to be clear
Beyond your domain

Three volcanoes and a rose bush
Soon to be nothing, soon enough
Seven of diamonds to the eight of spades
