lyrics

Well the sea has a sister her name is the sky
And they’re always looking eachother eye to eye
And the sky looks down to the sea to say
I can’t keep watching you live your life this way
Why are you so goddamn blue?
Babe, if I were you:

Well I’d pick myself right off the ground
I’d get a real job stop splashing around oh,
I know all the rivers you let flow
Doesn’t matter if they’re fast
Or if they’re slow
Cause I’ve seen em’ lazy I’ve seen em’ wide
Think about the future pick up your pride
I’m too familiar with your salty tears
Cause they come part of me, over the years
I don’t like the way you let the moon conrol your moods
I know you think he’s smart
His moon beams soothe,
And it’s so easy cause he doesn’t move
Night comes I can smell your perfume

Why are you so goddamn blue?

Well the sea has a sister her name is the sky
And they’re always looking eachother eye to eye
And the sea looks up to the sky to say
Can’t you relax and let me play?
You know that I never lie
And I don’t tell mom that you’re always high
You got three shades blue, black, or gray
And you’ve got the power to control the day
But all that power must really get old,
Don’t always have to do what your told
And I’ve seen the way you flirt with the sun
I know you think he’s cool-- so much fun
But I don’t think he really cares
If you haven’t realized he ain’t always there

Why are you so goddamn bule?
Why are you so goddamn blue?
Why are you so goddamn blue?
Why are you so goddamn blue?
Why are you so goddamn blue?
