True Blue

Bright Eyes · Motion Sickness [2005]

I am a blueblood I will admit that.

I dance in blue shoes and wear a blue hat.

Live in a blue house on a blue street, in a blue town by a blue creek.

I write my blue songs with my blue pen.

I sing the blue notes to my blue friends.

Now I don't know that much about you

but I like you because you are true blue.



I had a blue dream about a blue star.

In it I drove there in a blue car.

And when I got there I met a blue dog with a blue tongue, we had real fun.

We bounced a blue ball.

It broke a blue glass.

We banged on blue drums and called it bluegrass.

I guess the thing I'm trying to tell you is that it is best kid

if you're true blue.



Once I had gangrene.

I had it real bad.

And so the Doc came with his black bag.

I said "You know doc, I don't feel well.

If you had a blue bag I think I'd get well.

" So he came right back with a blue sack.

He said "Will this do?" I said, "Why not? Yeah."

That is how I am here today to tell you that it is best man to be true blue.



Out on the blue sea I sailed a blue ship.

I had a first mate that always had blue lips.

His name was Bluebeard. He had a weird twitch.

We flew a blue flag up on a big stick.

And we ate bluegill and we ate blue chips.

Oh, I felt real blue eating that blue fish.

Because there ain't much that I won't do

unless it keeps me from being true blue.



Once in a blue moon there is a blue sky.

I wear blue jeans and fly my blue kite.

It hangs like a bluebird until the wind dies

and then the tears pour out of my blue eyes.

If it is your birthday we'll bake a blue cake

and then we'll eat it off my blue plates.

Because kid I don't know much about you

but I like you because you're true blue.
