the blue millionaire
You've seen him In the undirected light of street dreams Doing nothing Standing, like to seem casual With a resemblance to people held by fear Lit by fire and disrepair The blue millionaire  Don't listen and keep asking Only stories reach this far No one's left and no one's coming And I will disappear far away from you The American wind and the blue millionaire  Blue millionaire Blue millionaire  There is no such thing as the wrong man Blue as the dusk that ended my day and shut off the light and air I wish I could tell you How he put them in cages Found you where you slept Got me down with something else than bruises Tied me to a blue chair Lit by fire and disrepair The blue millionaire  Blue millionaire Blue millionaire Blue millionaire Blue millionaire  Seen him drinking gin from pale blue bottles Drowning in shadow Shadows moving in Forever imagine Imagine it's him Nearby the window With dreams broken in  I don't laugh anymore or smile I am lost in the body, the passion of time He is screening my dreams and everything that's mine Don't stay in this mirror other hands have left me in You don't blow away as I do It will be the same again Turn and point away from here Steal what you cannot win From the blue millionaire  Blue millionaire Blue millionaire Blue millionaire Blue millionaire  Blue millionaire Blue millionaire Blue millionaire
