It Makes Me Wonder - Suzanne Vega

The Virgin Mary on a chain

Has hit me in the mouth again

As we explore the carnal score

Of sacred and profane

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

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

It makes me wonder

It makes me wonder

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

You’re playing near that line so thin

Austerity or just give in

To endless appetite

Embrace that white oblivion

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

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

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

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)
