Blues Turned Black

Jandek


Let me tell you about my blues
My blues have turned black 
Black, black, black, black 
And my rotting stinking flesh 
Black, black, black, black 
I couldn't stay high 
I'm in some cemetery 
I don't know where I am 
It's been so many years 
I lost so many tears 
I don't know who I am 
It was all a moment in the ocean of time 
I thought I had to go 
And then I really was gone 
I was gone, gone, gone, gone 
I lost the way 
I went way on tears 
It was all I could do 
Keep on keeping on 
I walked and I walked and I walked and I walked 
I didn't see nothing in the midnight blue 
My blues turned black 
Black, black, black, black 
Inside I'm a zombie 
Outside I'm unknown 
Black, black, black, black 
That rotten stinking flesh 
Maybe you can't see it 
But I know it's for real 
My blues have turned black 
I forgot how to feel 
My blues have turned black 
I'm gone, I can't come back
