Elementary Blues

If you’re dreaming of a lived-out past
And you’re wishing you could make it last
You ought to know
It could be much easier

When you feel as if it’s getting dark
You can’t cope and you think you’ll starve
Somebody knows
Someone’s got it bad like you
Someone’s got it out for you

For you

Arguably the best-looking jerk on the block
This is my time, best of my time
Reservation makes a fool out of me
Every conversation is a building block and I’m learning
And I’m yearning to be the biggest fool I can be

You ought to know
Your mother’s looking out for you
And your brother’s looking out for you
Make way for elemеntary blues

When I’m looking to get my rеvenge
Every Sunday comes rain again
Till’ it snows
Those Christmas lights are looking so fine

So fine when you have the time
Working for the man and I’m in my prime, mama

If you’re dreaming of a lived-out past
And you’re thinking you could make it last
You ought to know
Someone’s got it bad like you
Someone’s got it out for you
