blues on the ceiling

blues on the ceiling

over my head

running down the walls

across the floor

and over my bed

blue lights across the street

blinkin' off and on

it's so lonely now she's gone

i'll never get out of these blues alive

i'll never get out of this crazy blues alive

love had been a dirty

five letter word to me

i was into the blues over my head

blue was all that i could see

up to my neck in misery

i'll never get out of these blues alive

i'll never get out of this crazy blues alive

blues keep on fooling

with my weary head

cocaine couldn't numb the pain

i'd be better off dead

blue lights gone out at last i sleep

the bitter the blues the better they keep

i'll never get out of these blues alive

i'll never get out of these blues alive
