blue on the bottom - jack hardy lyrics

[verse 1]
look how the wick bends over
‘neath the weight of the flame
blue on the bottom
clear in the middle of the same
frames me in shadow
the hour is filled with the pain
though a friend gave me orders
not to utter that word again

[verse 2]
well, the mouse comes on little cat feet
just to purloin a peek
at this curious creature
who sits on his bottom and weeps
could this be the friend
that i’ve waited for, monsieur souris?
yet he runs for his life
at the instant hе hears me speak

[chorus]
empty thе table and empty the heart that i hold
promises broken and nothing has meaning, i’m told
empty the bottle that fills me with an entrance so bold
empty the promise that leaves me with have and to hold
[verse 3]
well, the mouse comes at quarter past three
just to see what i’ve done
he leaves in the belly of the beast
just to pay for his crumb
i don’t need him to tell me
it takes one to know one
i don’t need him to tell me
that i haven’t had any fun

[verse 4]
well, the night is the prurient interest
of hours of light
blue on the bottom
and clear in the middle of flight
i have no hidden meanings
or ancient secrets of sight
nor answers to questions
that i ask myself tonight

[chorus]
empty the table and empty the heart that i hold
promises broken and nothing has meaning, i’m told
empty the bottle that fills me with an entrance so bold
empty the promise that leaves me with have and to hold
