Suzanne Vega Small Blue Thing Lyrics

^ means electric guitar does this
/////// = same part, showing parts for both guitars. Guitar one is Vega's acoustic, two is electric.
Today I am a small blue thing,
like a marble, or an eye. With my
knees against my mouth I am perfectly round.
I am watching you.
I am cold against your skin, you are perfectly reflected.
I am lost inside your pocket, I am lost against your
fingers, I am falling down the stairs, I am skipping on the
sidewalk. I am thrown against the sky, I am raining down in pieces.
I am scattering like light. Scattering like light.
Scattering like light.
Today I am a small blue thing, *
made of china, made of glass. I am
Em D C D ^
smooth and cool and curious I never blink.
Guitar one
I am turning in your hand.
Guitar two (same time as guitar one)
I am turning in your hand.
I am cold against your skin, you are perfectly reflected.
I am lost inside your pocket, I am lost against your
fingers, I am falling down the stairs, I am skipping on the
sidewalk. I am thrown against the sky, I am raining down in pieces.
I am scattering like light. Scattering like light.
Scattering like light.
Today I am a small blue thing,
Guitar one
like a marble, or an eye. I am
Guitar two
like a marble, or an eye. I am
smooth and cool and curious I never blink.
Guitar one
I am turning in your hand. Turning in your hand.
Turning in your hand, small blue thing.
Turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Guitar two
I am turning in your hand. Turning in your hand.
Turning in your hand, small blue thing.
Turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
