[Verse 1]
Night... falls and I'm alone
Skin... yeah, chilled me to the bone
You... turned and you ran (oh, yeah)
Oh, slipped... right from my hand
(Hey)
[Chorus]
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on jack, match on a fire
Cold on ice, a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black
[Verse 2]
Blind... oh, now I see
Truth... lies, and in between
Wrong... can't be undone
Oh, slipped... from the tip of your tongue
(Hey)
[Chorus]
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on jack, match on a fire
Cold on ice, a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on jack, match on a fire
Cold on ice, a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black
Oh, blue on black
Oh-oh, blue on black
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
[Chorus]
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on jack, match on a fire
Cold on ice, a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
It doesn't change a thing
It doesn't bring you back
Yeah, blue on black
[Outro]
Yeah, blue on black
Mmm-mmm, blue on black
Blue on black
