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

I want a blueeeee lifeeeee

Basking in the light

I want a bluuue skyyyyyyyy

Oh not a cloud in sight

Want a bluuee liiiiiiife

No need for me to hide

From this black liiiiiiiiiiiight

Do you hear me nooow





I want a blueeeee liiiiiiiiiiiife

Basking in the light

I want a blue skyyyyyyyyyyy

Ooooh not a cloud in sight

Want a bluuee life

From this black liiiiiiiiiiiife

Do you hear me nooooow





I feel a bueeelue lifeeee

Bluee liiiiife

I want a bluuuue lifeee

Blue life
