Allez Les Blues

I pushed your head down Flat onto the page I held the weapon Flat against your face I remembered the promise That I had made And turned the pen back Back onto myself So you can stick your words of comfort And you can take your well wishes too Singing Allez les blues! Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do Allez les blues! I know your shape and I know your size You are the weight of The concrete boots that pull me under the tide And now you’re marching on to a different drum Leaving my body here without a beat A body drained of all feeling Can be nothing but a piece of meat So you can stick your words of comfort And you can take your well wishes too Singing Allez les blues! Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do Allez les blues! Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do Allez les blues! This lump in my throat Is the knot that you tied With a flick of your tongue And a wink of your eye X4 (I’ve been sitting sidesaddle on the devil’s chair I’ve been muddying upholstery, you didn’t care ????? right into the dead of night Yeah but the fire keeps me warm and keeps my heart alive) Yeah but the fire keeps me warm And keeps my heart alive You pushed my head down Flat onto the page You held the weapon Flat to my face You remember the promise That you would break But now the bloodline Runs through my veins Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do Allez les blues!
