Brian Fallon - The Blues Mary lyrics

rate me

I learned how to hammer, <br />

In the burning August sun, <br />

I learned how to lie and cheat, <br />

How to steal and just how to run, <br />

I fell asleep most nights, <br />

Somebody elses blood on my tongue, your tongue, <br />

You learn just how to run.<br />

<br />

But It's just the blues, Mary the blues<br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.<br />

<br />

I learned how to cry, <br />

In them lonesome September nights, <br />

I learned to get by, <br />

With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street<br />

I fell asleep most nights, <br />

With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes, <br />

The killer and the victim, <br />

Right at the same time.<br />

<br />

But It's just the blues, Mary the blues<br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, <br />

But It's just the blues, Mary the blues<br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.<br />

<br />

And cause your smile, <br />

Is pride like a rebel on the 4th of july, <br />

And my baby swings like a boxer, <br />

And sends her right hooks under my chin, <br />

She crys like a baby, <br />

And she wears me just like a ring, <br />

Crys like a baby, <br />

And she wears me just like a ring.<br />

<br />

I'd rather go then watch you leave<br />

<br />

I learned how to swagger, <br />

I learnd how to hold you while your body burn, <br />

I learned how to compromise, <br />

While this world went hurrciane turn, <br />

We fell asleep most nights, <br />

With each others blood on our tongues, <br />

My love, <br />

Have you ever just had enough?<br />

<br />

But It's just the blues, Mary the blues<br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, <br />

And It's just the blues, Mary the blues<br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.<br />

<br />

And It's just the blues, Mary the blues, <br />

Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, <br />

I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.
