Raconteurs Blue Veins Lyrics

Blue Veins Lyrics

When I was surrounded by the world

You were the only one who came

And you were the only one astounded, which kept me grounded

As the other girls thrashed my very name



Then I looked over

Just in time to see her smiling back at me

And saying everything's okay

As long as you're inside my blue veins, your blue veins



Yeah, and the feeling that you gave me

No matter what I do or where I go

It always will remain and those who would enslave me

To get to me must get past you and will have no luck

'Cause you'll protect me from all pain, it's true, they'll have no luck



The most beautiful, yeah, the most beautiful thing

'Cause anything else can't compare

Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins, your blue veins



Your blue veins



And I know you won't deceive me

Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain

You're always the first one to believe me

When I said to you girl, I think it's gonna rain

But I could be wrong



Yeah but all of these things, all these things

They're all truly nice but ain't nothing

Ain't nothing compared to the love

That's running through your little blue veins, your blue veins
