Stan Ridgway - Deep blue polka dot lyrics

rate me

Swimmin' in the slime

Peelin' off th' dock

Baby got a purple skirt that is polka-dot

Beauty in decay can be the only way when you are not

Wind is blowin' strong

Rainin' in the world

Nothin' but a sag where there used to be a curl

Cloud is comin' on

The weatherman was wrong––it's hot

Kill the referee

I'm callin' off the match

Gimme somethin' real––Babyface will need a peel tonight

Chorus:

Where they go

We don't know

But deep inside we're blue

Catch that fish

Your only wish

Deep inside we're blue

Blow that horn

From you I'm torn

No one has a clue

So pass that glass

Did you have to ask

Deep inside we're blue

Collision traffic mess

Failure or success

Who you lookin' at and tryin' to impress

Join you in your pain

Are you lookin' for the same tonight

Place me in your web

I will obey your plan

Gimme somethin' real––Babyface will need a peel tonight

Chorus repeat
