Lavender Blues

Like salt in a wound, the lavender blues

Stings then it hangs like a cloud over you

Disguised as a muse, a perennial ruse

Under the covers, of the lavender blues

Lavender blues, lavender blues

When you ain't got nothing

Ya ain't got nothing to lose

Get a place by ​the ​ocean, a room with a view

You want a connection, so you slip off your shoes

One toe in the water, searching for clues

Soon you are drowning, in the lavender blues

Lavender blues, lavender blues

Stranger than fiction, stranger than truth

Lavender blues, sweet lavender blues

When you ain't got nothing

Ya ain't got nothing to lose

Ya got teeth like a python, bite marks with a bruise

Wrapped all around you, ya tighten the screw

As you fade into nothing, awake but confused

No you're not dreaming, it's just the lavender blues

Lavender blues, lavender blues

Stranger than fiction, stranger than truth

Lavender blues, sweet lavender blues

When you ain't got nothing

Ya ain't got nothing to lose

Lavender blues, lavender blues

Stranger than fiction, stranger than truth

Lavender blues, sweet lavender blues

When you ain't got nothing
