Blues on the ceiling
Over my head
Running down the walls
Across the floor
Over my bed
Blue lights across the street
Blinkin' off and on
I'm so lonely now you're gone
I'll never get out of these blues
Never get out of these blues alive
And keep on coming
Up my weary head
Even cocaine couldn't ease the pain
I'd be better off dead
Blue lights gone out so I can't sleep
The bitter the blues the better they keep
I'll never get out of these blues alive, alive
Never get out of these blues
I'll never get out of these blues
Never get out of these blues alive
On the ceiling
Over my head
Running down the walls
Across the floor
Under my bed
Blue lights across the street
Blinkin' off and on
I'm so lonely now you're gone
I'll never get out of these blues
Never get out of these blues alive
