Adrian Belew - Bumpity Bump lyrics

rate me

What's a blue man gonna do

When he collects the whole set of the blues

He can't move

He can't shake his slump

A blue man says bumpity bump

Heybumpity bump

My heart hurts like a drum

What's a man

What's a blue man gonna do

When he knows the truth of the blues

He can't find the world a satisfyin' place

He can't even face his own face

Why do I hurt like a drum?

My heart says bumpity bump

A blue man

What's he got to do

Go to sleep to evade the blues?

They might follow him right into his dreams

They might corner him and make him scream

Why do I feel like a bomb?

My heart says bumpity bump

Heywhat's a blue man say

When he's got to wake up

To another blue day

Ohand nothing is right

And he's got no disguise

Who knowsmaybe he woke up

In a different guy

Why do I feel like a bomb?

My heart hurts like a drumwhy?

My heart says bumpity bump
