"Blue With Lou" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

Hellfire and brimstone blottin' out the Sun
They're sellin' seats to Mars
Peddling wonder and fun
I ain't suspicious, it's a blatant ugly stain

May pray for peace
Still we're all in this mad game
Deep down in this mad game
Deep down, deep down

Gonna dance 'til I forget
My blood and soul duet
I'm goin' blue with Lou
I'm goin' blue with Lou

Sick of burying friends and heroes
Every fear I feel
Gonna tango in the madness
Find an inner flame to burn or heal

World peace fantasies like flirting with a corpse
Let's flay the evil down to dust
Let kindness be a hammer force
Mighty hammer force, kindness, kindness

The answer's in the wind like Magic Bobby said
Let's battle now like Angels
'Cause we all gonna wind up dead

Blue with Lou
I'm goin' blue with Lou
Hey, better all come too
Goin' blue with Lou

Lou's walk on the wild side
Still profound and profane
King of that street corner
His words slash and lick the pain

Out to seize my wild side
Turn all the stupid off
Ancient has it's charm now
But never old and soft
Never old and soft, never

Gonna dance 'til I remember
How to torch this fading ember
Light it up, light it up

Goin' blue with Lou
I'm goin' blue with Lou
Hey, you better all come too
Goin' blue with Lou, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue with Lou

Marching together (Marching together)
Singing together (Singing together)
Dancin' together (Dancin' together)
I'm goin' deep dynamite
Gonna find me some peace tonight

I'm goin' deep dynamite
Gonna find me and my Jersey girl
Some peace tonight

I'm goin' blue with Lou
I'm goin' blue with Lou
You better all come too
Goin' blue with Lou
Marchin' together
Come on march, come on march, come on march...

Everybody take a hand
Marchin' to the promised land
Everybody take a stand
Marchin' to the promised land...

Blue with Lou...
