Suzanne Vega
It Makes Me Wonder (Acoustic Version)
[Verse 1]
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
And mother's breast beneath the silk
Remains untouched, it's way too much
Reject all of that ilk
[Chorus]
And I have to say it makes me wonder
If you are holding me
To that same blue flame that you are under
'Cause I feel you scolding me
[Post-Chorus]
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
[Verse 3]
Your Virgin Mary's in the way
Hallucinate her face by day
Obscure thе view in front of you
It's me herе 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]
And I have to say it makes me wonder
If you are holding me
To that cold blue flame that you are under
When you are holding me
[Bridge]
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 are under
When you are holding me
[Outro]
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
