BLUE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2000

When you hear me turn it up,
You better run for cover,
When you hear me plug it in,
You better think it over,
Fat man cocaine jelly roll,
I think it's time I took a stroll,
To wander over pavement black,
I don't think I'm coming back,
I took all my pills and yet,
I'm blue,
When you see the statues cry,
You better run for cover,
When you see the angels fly,
It's fun to watch 'em hover,
Old brown coats and cigarettes,
Summer hasn't got here yet,
Balanced on the winter sky,
Sunlight shadow blackbirds fly,
It's been wonderful and yet,
I'm blue.
