Lyrics
Chasing the Blues
We're at the gates of desperation
With a figure standing there
A key in one hand
And a cold-hearted stare
At the edge of tomorrow
We're fighting for our lives
In a twisted sort of world
that cannot be set right
Take off your white hat,
Kick off your white shoes
Come with me baby
Gotta sing the blues
I'll put on a black dress
You put on a wicked smile
And we can chase those blues for a little while
I know that never
Is soon enough to think
Of trials and tribulations we have seen
I wish that there
Could be redemption
Or that I could awaken from this dream
And if I could, I would calculate the gains,
But that's not how they play this game
I do find solace
In many things that I see
And singing is the cure for misery
But if we stop
To take a deep breath
I fear the quiet leads us to our deaths
Take off your white hat,
Kick off your white shoes
Come with me baby
Gotta sing the blues
I'll put on a black dress
You put on a wicked smile
And we can chase those blues for a little while
It could be soon,
It might be later
But the blues are catching up with me
And when they do
The search is over
I've found my perfect company
Take off your white hat,
Kick off your white shoes
Come with me baby
Gotta sing the blues
I'll put on a black dress
You put on a wicked smile
And we can chase those blues for a little while
