Lyrics
I've been looking upward
for some way to go
Thunder and lightening
Taking their toll
Stuck thumbing rides
at the end of the road
I was born a drifter
with a lap cat heart
Quicksand beneath
Every thought
I'm sorry excuses
Are all that I've brought
So now
I wonder if you're thinking
The same thing too
Forty Days fighting the flood
And I'm holding out like a child
Holding onto a gun
Under the downpour
Clouds block the view
I am twice as Blue
These are the shadows
They sell you as shade
Driven to madness
Caged by the shame
I got my objections
My body is a slave
So now
Do you do the drugs
or do they do you
Forty Days fighting the flood
And I'm holding out like a child
Holding onto a gun
Under the downpour
Clouds block the view
I am twice as Blue
Must be some angel
Too drunk to drive
I've been here waiting
Searching the sky
The waves are inviting
Waving goodbye
Into their open arms
I am twice as Blue
