i'll be blue

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
