Blame the Blues

I was standing on the corner but you know Lou never arrived.
I filled my mouth to the brim with blood,
it started leaking from Willie Johnson's eyes
and there is never enough,
just take it from us.
We've seen the world from a passenger seat;
when Elvis checks out
you can still catch the trout
on the heels of H.D.Thoreau's feet.
Don't blame the blues.
Two more weeks in Maggie's farm, moon hanging like a guillotinette
The joker laughs himself to death and deals cards from the soul of his cigarette.
Call in the medicine man,
call in the tambourine man
I think I caught the blues.
Call in the tin-can man,
call in the back up plan
Billy Shears is on the loose.
All the young dudes, Carry the Noose.
'Dark was the night, cold was the ground'
on the first and final stretch
The scarce remains of sincerity
snapped with the nape of Ian Curtis' neck.
So when the modern world starts
to get me down
I just flip to side "B"
and get ghostsick for Dom
in bed with a bomb.
Some poets piss on everything.
Don't blame the blues.

Its too hot for rock and roll
way too hot for rock and roll
Christians on street corners with megaphones
nine inch needles, spinning gramophones
it'd take a sweeter sound to save my soul
but its way too hot for rock and roll
Silver spoon sing-a-longs don't melt my bones,
snare drums marching on an army of clones.
Glass pipe, burn all Nightingale syndrome
robotic, apple biter catacombs
Can you sell me some sound designed to save my soul?
cause its way too hot for rock and roll.
Its too hot for Hell below.
Maybe i'll just meet you there
I know I said I'd take you
yeah, but lately I been thinking
that maybe I'll just meet you there.
