The blues and I, we know each other as well as I know right from wrong
And ever since my baby left me, the blues won't leave me alone
They keep me walking on a tightrope, heading for the twilight zone
Where you can live imagination, till the days of the blues are passing on
They moved in early one morning, just before the break-up date
And when my woman packed up and left me, the blues decided to stay
They keep me walking on a tightrope, heading for the twilight zone
Where the future never makes it, until the past, the past is gone
Instrumental
Well now when I sit down to my breakfast, and the blues sit next to me
I order a cup of coffee, but the blues pose misery
They keep me walking on a tightrope, heading for the twilight zone
Where you can live imagination, till the past, the past is gone
They moved in early one morning, just before the break-up date
And when my woman packed up and left me, the blues decided to stay
They keep me walking on a tightrope, heading for the twilight zone
Where the future never makes it, until the past, the past is gone
Well now when I sit down to my breakfast, and the blues sit next to me
I order a cup of coffee, but the blues pose misery
They keep me walking on a tightrope, heading for the twilight zone
Where you can live imagination, until the blues, the past is gone
Talk about those miserable blues, oh yeah, oh yeah
The blues sit down next to me, I order a cup of coffee, and the blues pose misery
Talk about those blues, those tightropes, they keep me walking on a tightrope
Keep me walking on a tightrope
Talk about the blues
Lowdown, dirty
Talk about the blues
Got me on a fenlight, yeah
Talk about a tightrope, yeah
Woo-hoo-hoo, yeah
Maybe you don't know what it is to have the blues, yeah
Talk about the blues, oh yeah
Yeah
