BLUE

Blue green stayed low
She got high and dropped out of school
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 where they belong
But they’ll keep playing in my mind Lou Reed, Beach Boys,
we were children once playing with toys
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
I have no idea how blue green has turned into you

She says ‘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 old 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 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 those old lines

But 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, that disco beat always made you move
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 got nothing left, I have nothing to lose

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