lyrics

Pretty girl blues, it doesn’t matter where your
heart’s at
at the start. When the needle hits the platter,
it’ll be in your shoes.
It’s not an optical illusion. You were yellow,
now you’re red and she can green you if she
chooses
before you fade into your pretty girl blues.
How much more should a stupid boy be prepared to
lose?
Pretty girl blues, it’s in the iris. But it’s the redness
on the whiteness that has us so desirous
for the peril of you.
Premium booze, a valium chaser put the hip check
on the shipwreck that launched a thousand faces
into the icy blue.
It’s a chemical, a cultural, professional
jones for you animal, in other words:
I’ll never change, I’ll never even try
until the day that god or nature
orders you to change your pretty blue eyes.
For your pretty girl blues,
how much more should a stupid boy be prepared to
lose?
Pretty girl blues is sung in Spanish, is sung in English,
but never in German, that’s outlandish.
And ich bin a fool.
