I'll Be Blue

Frank Black


You stared a while 
Then said to me 
Give me a smile 
And aren't you having fun? 

Stood in my path 
Down in the street 
I wouldn't laugh 
And you looked so stunned 

I think you 
Had no clue 

I will be blue 
Like a hermit in its shell 
Like Jesus Christ on the hill 
I'll be blue 
I'll be blue 

We had a drink 
I sang some songs 
You had to think 
I didn't know my place at all 

Please pardon me 
For these my wrongs 
And I will leave 
But I won't put your party face on 

I'll be blue 
I will be blue 

I will be blue 
Like the reign of mastodon 
Like the alleys of old Lyon 
I'll be blue 
I'll be blue
