Blues for Joy

[Verse 1]
The neighbors, I can hear them
Playin' cards in the backyard
The neighbors, I can hear them
Playin' cards in the backyard
I'm undressin' in the shadows
Where the world ain't so mean and hard

[Verse 2]
I'd call you if I could
Don't know where you went
I'd call you if I could
But I don't know where you went
You packed your things so quickly
It's just an emptiness you left

[Verse 3]
I felt the fog a-comin'
Like a slow leak in a tire
I felt the fog a-comin'
Like a slow leak in a tire
And wipe your smile off my face
And stole the ashes of dеsire

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Now a blue pill in the mornin'
A pink onе before bed
A blue pill in the mornin'
A pink one before bed
Oh, they won't bring you back
Just stop the buzzing in my head

[Verse 5]
The neighbors, I can hear them
Playin' cards in the backyard
The neighbors, I can hear them
Playin' cards in the backyard
Don't feel like I belong
In a world so mean and hard
Don't feel like I belong
In this world so mean and hard
