If it's all blue tomorrows
on a road paved in sorrow
lined with sweet but deadly
Lilly of The Valley
we can find our own road
cut through the alley
stick to the shadows
make our break
stay young and die old
but we're tied-up an worn down
nowhere / nowhere / nowhere
to go
blue tomorrows
rain and snow
Well you were a wishful thinker
and I was a heavy drinker
every night
I would play charades
with the shadows
shooting at the moon
circled the drain
for a year or two
woke one morning
more weary than usual
all tied-up and worn down
almost / almost / almost
losing you
blue tomorrows
through and through
Living by the skin
of both our teeth
still no jailhouse key
when both our brows are wet
with blood and sweat
darkened by when you
cried out to the night
if I don't leave soon
I'm gonna die
I'd rather be hungry
and sleep outside at night
than be tied-up an worn down
no end / no end / no end
in sight
blue tomorrows
day and night
