Blue Life

i walk the streets at night
and stumbled 'cross two friends of mine
i see their faces stained by in the coffee grinds
black liiiiiifeeee
cant i now defy you
in this black life
black knife stabs me in the back
i reaaalizeeee

i sense their coming to me everyday most all the time
i feel the predator he knows my name by now allright
god knows i've taken all that I can stomach up to now

but from the corner of my eye i dreeam about
i want a blueeeee liiiiiiife
basking in the light
i want a blue skyyyyyyyy
oh not a cloud in sight
want a bluuee liiiiiiife
no need for me to hide
from this black liiiiiiiiight
do you hear me noooooow

(gotta turn around)

i still I stand here unemployed and overqualified
keeper of the king the strychnine in the troughs tonight
black life
cant i now defy yooou in this black life
black knife stabs me in the back
i reaaalizeee

i sense their coming to me everyday most all the time
i feel the predator he knows my name by now allright
god knows i've taken all tat I can stomach up to now
but from the corner of my eye
i dreeam about
