Story Behind the Song
"Someone I knew from way back then gave me your news, Blue Thing."
Lyrics
BLUE THING
Someone I know from way back then gave me your news,
Blue thing
Between beeps of mobile phones and trips to the bathroom
He told me how youve been
He painted an ugly picture,
Says youve been travelling from death to death
I figured you seek eternity, my blue thing,
In people and things that pass away
A stranger flash in snakeskin boots said that youre happening,
Blue thing,
That youre the talk of this happening town and as a matter of fact,
you could give me a little hand
It seem youre presently on an upswing
Treading water between terrible falls
You can hook me up with people, blue thing,
to trade the marrow of my bone
And I have nothing left to open or to close
Everythings been written
on paper or stone
its down for everyone to know
Its recorded all
And I have nothing left to open or to close
Nothing s been forgotten
And nothing is blue anymore
A jealous mind, no friend of mine, showed me a picture
Blue thing
Big red eyes and a puffy smile and wrinkles and dimples,
she says theyve been there awhile
But I am sure its just the flashbulb
Of a cheap disposable box
I m sure youre still as beautiful, my blue thing
Just as the night begins to fall
And I have nothing left to open or to close
Everythings been written
on paper or stone
its down for everyone to know
Its recorded all
And I have nothing left to open or to close
Nothing s been forgotten
And nothing is blue anymore
