Lyrics[]
Someone must have sent me to Heaven
Blue madonna down by the pool
Just want to make her feel like a virgin
A version of herself that she once knew
But I just wanna watch her
Like a candle in the moonlight
Hotter than a blueberry flame
What's her name?
Smoke rising in the distance
She glides in a swan dive
Cooler than a strawberry shake
All the rivers run back into the sea
But baby, don’t you leave
I only want you running back to me
Blue madonna in my head now
Blue madonna in my bed now
Blue madonna cherry red now
In this light
Blue madonna in my head now
Blue madonna in my bed now
Blue madonna cherry red now
Tonight
Tonight
