lyrics

A 21st Century Levee Moan

I'm going where nobody knows my name.
I'm putting out the fire just to see it burn again,
I'm losing every face I thought I ever knew,
the only color I can ever see is blue.

I'm holding on to sand, dropping every gem,
I'm standing on the outside looking at my empty skin,
there never was a flag I really looked up to,
the only color I can ever see is blue.
All blue, it's blue, just blue.

My head's inside a jukebox in a road house bar,
my soul's a faded snapshot of a 1960's car.
My heart's been bruised a few times,
but it always seem to mend.
I'll sing this levee moan from now until the end.

Oh, I'm going where nobody ever call's me friend.
I'm drifting with the ashes scattered by the wind,
Oh I keep floating back to precious moments that we knew.
The only color I can ever see is blue,
all blue, just blue, it's blue.
