Baby's Gone Blue

Lyrics for Baby's Gone Blue

As he did so, her body slammed backwards At first it seemed that she was only sleeping (she was already dead) Cold (she was unmistakably anywhere) Dead Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah sweetheart! Oh yes, he called her name Look at the mess in your party dress! Baby's gone blue That fixed expression was so dark Yes, she was unmistakably gone Who are you going to send flowers to? (Rhythmically on and off) Who are you going to send flowers to? (So, you ain't done with Sarah?) They are unmistakably dead (she was oversleeping) Oh yes, he called her name Did you hear about that? That fixed expression, blurred to distinguish her outline Didn't feel right (it was dark, did you hear about that?) Cold, dead Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, sweetheart! (Called her name, did you hear about that?) Crash out in a drunken stupor, alcohol Straight (so we went to the picture...) Look at the mess (did you hear about that? In your party dress! Baby's gone blue Her face, turned away from him (open blind) Did you hear about that? It was so dark He crashed out in a drunken stupor Alcohol hanging sickly in the air At first it seemed that she was only sleeping Oh yes, she was dead But then, as he did so Her body slumped backwards At first it seemed that she was only sleeping The first thing to hit him, first thing to hit him Barely distinguishing her outline It didn't feel right, that sick expression That was when he saw her eyes and knew she was already dead Blue lights through the half-opened blind What? About half ten? Okay
