Blue

 

Blue green stayed low 

She got high and dropped out of school 

But she don’t mess around much anymore 

We used to scream and chase the moon 

Ice cold cases opened up at noon 

We were just kicking the world around 

 

Now she don’t need no more songs 

Says she’s putting them all where they belong 

But they’ll keep playing in my mind Lou Reed, the Beach Boys, 

We were children once playing with toys 

And skipping under that waterfall was something new 

And I want to go but I can’t move 

I’m stuck here looking like a fool 

And I have no idea how my blue green has turned into you 

 

She said that “16, that was nice”, 

Now she’s breaking our old 45’s by throwing them out that open door 

She says “You know, I’ve grown and I left you back long ago” 

Hell, like I didn’t know 

 

Now she don’t need no more songs 

Says she’s putting them where they belong 

But they’ll keep playing in my mind 

Like Jackson Browne and CCR 

We’re rolling around in the back of my father’s car 

And working on our own night moves 

And I want to go, but I can’t leave 

I’m stuck here shaking like a leaf 

And I have no idea how my blue green has turned into you 

 

The colors are still the same

But my blue green has gone away 

She’s just a shadow throwing stones at my soul 

We used to laugh, but now we don’t 

We just pay bills and float around the home 

And she might be walking 

But I’m dancing into theold lines 

 

And she don’t need no more songs 

Says she’s putting them where they belong 

But they’ll keep playing in my mind 

The Rolling Stones singing I Miss You

Baby girl that disco beat always made you move 

And I watched you shatter them on the concrete next to my old Zeppelin II 

And I want to go but I can’t move 

I’ve got nothing left, I’ve got nothing to lose 

And I have no idea how my blue green has turned into you
