I sipped shaved ice, soaked in sweet sugar syrup
So blue, more blue than nature could know
It dripped down my fingers, so smooth and sticky
Through the crushed ice the texture and temperature of snow
I saw the hazy moonlight early this morning
Like a sapphire run through a washing machine
The cloud cover diffused the light all around me
Everything looked brand-new and real clean
Then God sent down a bolt of lightning
I did not know what to do
That flash of fire was the color of your eyes
Electric blue
