Suzanne Vega — It Makes Me Wonder

[Verse 1] The Virgin Mary on a chain Has hit me in the mouth again As we explore the carnal score Of sacred and profane [Verse 2] Sulky boy won't drink his milk So mother's breast beneath the silk Remains untouched it's way too much Reject all of that ilk [Chorus] I have to say it makes me wonder If you are holding me To the same blue flame that you're under 'Cause I feel you scolding me [Post-Chorus] It makes me wonder It makes me wonder [Verse 3] Your Virgin Mary's in the way Hallucinate her face by day Obscure the view in front of you It's me here made of clay [Verse 4] You're playing near that line so thin Austerity or just give in To endless appetite Embrace that white oblivion [Chorus] I have to say it makes me wonder If you are holding me To that cold blue flame that you're under When you are holding me [Chorus 2] And why so high the expectation? Who could live up to this? And there's no time now for explanation Cool as an angel's kiss [Chorus] And I have to say it makes me wonder If you are holding me To that cold blue flame that you're under When you are holding me [Outro] It makes me wonder (I have to say) It makes me wonder (I have to say) It makes me wonder (I have to say) It makes me wonder (I have to say)
