Blue
Chorus:
Feelin happy, feelin blue, waste away the afternoon
Cuz I believe in blue
Locked away inside a dream, trying to catch what used to seem
Like a fire inside of me
Verse 1:
I’ve got an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other,
But the monkey on my back swallowed them both.
He choked on the halo and the pitchfork, keeled over,
And my own wings finally had time to grow.
Then I looked back it was just a blur,
Just a mismatched avalanche of dust and words,
No returns for this burned customer,
But I must emerge it’s taken trust to learn,
I’m not worse for the wear just more aware of the worst
At first that was the best that I could count on both hands
Giving an opposable thumbs up, with no chance
Cuz you need brains to get dumb luck
I lie numb struck, Billy Pilgrim is unstuck
Waiting for the light and the sun has come up
To make morning shadow puppets dance with no strings on ceilings
I wonder who is casting me?
There has to be a reason that the only thing between us is the air we’re breathing
One masterpiece, with a breath and a beat and a thought now I believe in blue.
Chorus
Blue, just one vibration,
waves sound and sight making time outdated,
I’ve waded to still water running deep
with an oxygen tank and a promise to keep,
But it’s cold, and the water’s dark,
and the giant squids and the great white sharks
Are distracting to say the least,
all I’m asking for is just some peace of mind,
I’m beginning to find out
more than just a rhyme in a time signature might shout
Out to the masses to make them feel,
the same vibrations that we’ve revealed
Linked by the senses the music’s how,
changing the lenses of what is now,
Allow the resonation to testify, electrify,
connecting you and I with blue
