The Color Blue

I think it's time I start living right
I can't eat, I don't sleep at night
I gotta be feeling something all the time
I know the world ain't the place for me
I nod off and I just let it be
Sundays are always spent alone

I had a girl, but she got out
The only one that's ever gonna leave this town
And she got a man, but still misses me
Phone rings, it's my only friend
He calls up once a month collecting my rent
The color blue's the only color I can see
The color blue's the only color I can see

Lately it seems I'm losing my mind
Giving it away one piece at a time
'Cause I ain't got nothing better to do
Last time I let it get to me
I went and washed my heart down the kitchen sink
Now I don't feel much of nothing at all

How much time do I gotta spend
In the bottom of this hole-in-the-wall I'm in
Before it starts making sense to me?
Every day it's the same damn thing
The sun don't shine and the grass ain't green
The color blue's the only color I can see
The color blue's the only color I can see

I think it's time I start living right
'Cause I can't eat, I don't sleep at night
I gotta be feeling something all the time

Every day it's the same damn thing
The sun don't shine, no, the grass ain't green
The color blue's the only color I can see
The color blue's the only color I can see
