"Music Is Blue" lyrics

Once upon a time, I told myself
Music was all there was
Like a ghost town in quarantine
No road in, no road out

Music was my mistress
My one true witness
The prayer of a desperate nation
A cheap fragrance
Penetrating light
Out of mind, out of sight

There's not much more to say!
I wouldn't have any other way
I love her
She loves me
She loves we
She loves you
Music is blue

She had me in chains at her altar
Busking in The Village like a real punter
A jealous maid, I stole to feed her
That's the lie told by a cheater
We robbed Pluto, we ate nothing but beer
Made love on Sunday
We wept and wept and howled and howled
And played hookey on Monday

There's not much more to say!
I wouldn't have any other way
I love her
She loves me
She loves we
She loves you
Music is blue

Once upon a time, like Martinez slime
Music was all there was
Like a private island in quarantine
No boat in, no boat out

Then I found another love
I see music loves you too

The fairies' lie must have been true
To bring me to you
Now everything, everywhere, is blue

There's not much more to say!
I wouldn't have any other way
I love her
She loves me
She loves we
She loves you
Yes it's true
Music is blue
