About The Blood That Moves the Body

"The Blood That Moves the Body" is a song by the Norwegian band A-ha, and was originally released in 1988 as the second single from the band's third album Stay on These Roads. This song was re-released on March 30, 1992 (1992-03-30) with the remixes by Alan Tarney. The video remained unchanged. The dark, enigmatic lyrics of this song have been attributed to many things, including teen suicides in Japan and literary references to Eyes of a Blue Dog. The "Two-Time Gun Remix" was later included on A-ha's 2010 compilation album, 25, which features all of the band's hits, across two CDs.

It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right

My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
(The blood that moves the body)
(The blood that moves the body)

There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives

Red stains on eyes of a blue dog
My pains fade as the interiors fog
The blood that moves my body
Now colors the ground
(The blood that moves the body)
(The blood that moves the body)

Not long ago, it hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care, the way we were
Now lost its way at nights

It's the way we feel
Tonight
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

Not long ago, it hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care, the way we were
Now lost its way at nights

It's the way we feel
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives

My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves our bodies
Now covers the ground
That now covers the ground

The blood that moves the body
(Covers the ground)
The blood that moves the body
(Covers the ground)
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body
