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
