Blue Dahlia

What a hard and sultry summer

The steam just slides up off them streets

You gotta stay inside and wait for the night

And then come on over and see me

Cause there‘s a poetry about these streets

And it slips from your skin and goes right underneath

And mama always knew I’d meet a girl like you

But me, I never believed

Cause I’ve been so lonely I can’t imagine that kind of sympathy

Cause I’ve been so lonely I can’t imagine that kind of sympathy

Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart?

Is it sad enough to break, she said "it's sad enough to break"

How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine?

Are you man enough to lay here?

She said "I'm man enough, my baby, come see about me"

I had a dream about you once

I could barely see your form

And I met you between the wax and the needle

In the words of my favorite song

And your black hair was like a raven

With your tan skin on the beach

And your backdrop was the Auroras and my Sidekick was all this grief

And I been so low down, I been almost level with the ground

Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart?

Is it sad enough to break, she said "it's sad enough to break"

How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine?

Are you man enough to lay here?

She said "I'm man enough, my baby, come see about me"

And did they take you to the carnival to get locked up on a ride?

See me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers

And the ladies with the sleepy eyes

And it took years, my baby, just to come clean

Every street light, a reminder

And all those apologies…

And the night was lonely next to me

Even the night was lonely next to me

Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart?

Is it sad enough to break, she said "it's sad enough to break"

How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine?

Are you man enough to lay here?

She said "I'm man enough, my baby, come see about me"

Come see about me

Come see about me

Come see about me

Whenever you're lonely
