Lyrics
Big Blue Ball
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.
Johnny says I'm out of here
Mary knows she's staying in alone
Find it hard to get along
Wonder 'bout the price of happy homes
Sometimes, feel like they're caught in a landslide
Sometimes, everythin' seems to make no sense at all
But it's so clean and bright, the other side of maybe
Yes, it's clean, bright but no one sees at all
It's so clean, bright, you just livin' out a lie
On the big blue ball, no trouble at all
Fuzzy in the afternoon, drifting into thoughts about a war
Drawing lines and taking sides, we gettin' tired, seen it before
Space man see there's no heaven above us
If you walk, you can say there's no hell below
But it's so clean and bright, the other side of maybe
Yes, it's clean, bright but no one sees at all
It's so clean, bright, you just livin' out a lie
On the big blue ball, no trouble at all
