Me & Mr. Blue Lyrics

Stephen Fearing Me & Mr. Blue

I fell asleep on a rooftop
I woke up halfway down
In my parachute above the open ground
Nobody could hear me
Nobody could see
Changes always happen best in privacy
At least I’m going somewhere
So this is nothing new
Oh, he just comes out of nowhere
Next thing I know it’s me and Mr. Blue
Hungry as a priest
I was young and I was tired
All strung out on promises like razor wire
Nobody came near me
And there were more of them
Flipping out the coin but never wishing again
Wishing again
At least I’m going somewhere
So this is nothing new
Oh, he just comes out of nowhere
Next thing I know it’s me and Mr. Blue
I fell asleep on a subway
I woke up surrounded
A thousand faces riding on the underground
Underneath the city
And up out of the night
to watch the morning shutting down the streetlights
Shutting down the streetlights
At least I’m going somewhere
So this is nothing new
Oh, he just comes out of nowhere
Next thing I know it’s me and Mr. Blue
