Lyrics:
(Leonard Cohen)There's perfume burning in the airBits of beauty everywhereShrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirtShe comes so closeYou feel her thenShe tells you No and No againYour lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirtBlue AlertVisions of her drawing nearArise, abide, and disappearYou try to slow it downIt doesn't workIt's just another night I guessAll tangled up in nakednessYou even touch yourselfYou're such a flirtBlue AlertYou know how nights like this beginThe kind of knot your heart gets inAny way you turn is going to hurtThere's perfume burning in the airBits of beauty everywhereShrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirtBlue AlertShe breaks the rules so you can seeShe's wilder than you'll ever beYou talk religion but she won't convertHer body's twenty stories highYou try to look away, you tryBut all you want to do is get there firstBlue AlertYou know how nights like this beginThe kind of knot your heart gets inAny way you turn is going to hurtThere's perfume burning in the airBits of beauty everywhereShrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirtBlue Alert
