A hundred thousand dollars

wouldn't touch the price I paid

of the hundred thousand moments

of the times I wish I'd stayed.

But even if I had all the time and money,

it's still the same old news.

Nothin' does you any good

when you got 2000 blues.



Ten thousand clouds

on a rainy rainy day

couldn't wash away

all the dust and the haze.

But I tried and I tried

to search for all the clues,

why I can't wash away

these 2000 blues.



If I had an airplane

with a co-pilot too,

I'd fly to a planet

that was closest to you.

I'd set the tracking system

with your safety fuse,

and set the countdown

for 2000 blues.
