Lyrics
Out Of The Blue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way, my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance
And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a purple basket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket
How could you be
So perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore
The things I did before?
Somewhere along the way, exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness
Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain
And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked them as I thanked them
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a leather jacket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket
All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory
All you got to do is sit there, look great, and make them horny
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today in tonight and in the morning
How could you be
So perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore
The things I did before?
And take all your fears, pretend they're all true
And take all your plans, pretend they fell through
But that's what it's like
That's what it's like for most people in this world
Rich or the poor
Muslims or jews
When roles are reversed
Opinions are, too
That's all I'm gonna say now
Before you come knocking on my door now
