Big Blue Note

[Verse 1] See that big blue note over there on the counter You Don't want to read that thing man, it's a real gotcha downer But don't you dare say nothing else bad about her She's gone [Verse 2] No, no, no, no don-don't throw it away Cause tonight I might need it It gets real lonely around here at night sometimes, and I have to reread it Besides you can show it to the boys downtown, and they won't believe that She's gone [Chorus] There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted All the man that she'll ever need I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished And the only thing she left behind for me [Bridge] Is this big blue note folded up in my pocket Yeah don't laugh, it's been two months I still got it Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice Just to make sure I ain't forgot that She's gone [Verse 3] You know my psychiatrist said, "Tell me what do you see When you look at these ink spots of reds and yellows and green?" You know, I looked at them all, but all they looked to me like Big blue notes [Chorus] There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted All the man that she'll ever need I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished And the only thing that's left to do for me [Verse 4] Is stand high on this cliff overlooking the sea With my big blue note paper airplane that I just set free And I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes, and if it don't come back to me You guessed it She's gone [Outro] Crash landing Bye, bye, baby
