The Blue Millionaire |
You’ve seen him |
In the undirected light of street dreams |
Doing nothing — |
Standing, like to seem casual |
With a resemblance to people held by fear. |
Lit by fire and disrepair. |
The blue millionaire. |
Don’t listen and keep asking — |
Only stories reach this far. |
No one’s left and no one’s coming |
And I will disappear |
Far away from you, |
The American wind, |
And the blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
There is no such thing as the Wrong Man |
Blue as the dusk that ended my day |
And shut off the light and air. |
I wish I could tell you |
How he put them in cages, |
Found you where you slept. |
Got me down with something else than bruises |
Tied me to a blue chair |
Lit by fire and disrepair |
The blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Seen him drinking gin from pale blue bottles, |
Drowning in shadow, |
Shadows moving in. |
Forever imagine |
Imagine it’s him |
Nearby the window |
With dreams broken in. |
I don’t laugh anymore — or smile, |
I am lost in the body, |
The passion of time. |
He is screening my dreams |
And everything that’s mine. |
Don’t stay in this mirror |
Other hands have left me in. |
You don’t blow away as I do. |
It will be the same again. |
Turn and point away from here. |
Steal what you cannot win |
From the blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue millionaire. |
Blue … |
