You stared a while
Then said to me
Give me a smile
And aren't you having fun?

Stood in my path
Down in the street
I wouldn't laugh
And you looked so stunned

I think you
Had no clue

I will be blue
Like a hermit in its shell
Like Jesus Christ on the hill
I'll be blue
I'll be blue

We had a drink
I sang some songs
You had to think
I didn't know my place at all

Please pardon me
For these my wrongs
And I will leave
But I won't put your party face on

I'll be blue
I will be blue

I will be blue
Like the reign of mastodon
Like the alleys of old Lyon
I'll be blue
I'll be blue
