13th Floor Elevators Baby Blue
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will
last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Is crying like a fire in the sun.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your independant* armies, they are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for
you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
This sky, too, is falling over you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
