Lyrics for BLUES AWAY

Now how am I 'posed to play the blues when I'm feelin' so good (hey Camae) (Yo, I can't play this shit, I, I) Shit (I just can't play this shit) You took the blues away from me And the horn won't play, and the drummer won't swing And the band won't play You took the blues away from me Now the drummer won't play And my heart can't sing And the band won't play You took the blues away from me And I'm alone on the stage, I don't feel ways I don't feel no ways You took the blues away from me Now my heart won't sing And the trumpet won't play And the boys won't say You, you, you took the blues away from me Now my heart won't sing And the drummer can't swing And the band can't play You took your blues away from me Now my heart won't sing And the drummer can't swing And the boys can't play Oh baby, you took your blues away from me You took the blues away from me Now my heart can't sing The drummer can't swing The boys won't sing Outside screaming in the rain Screaming Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine My heart can't contain all the parts that I'm to blame I came back, what's my name? What's my name, what's my name? So many wounds on the brain Can we please exchange? 'Cause I don't remember why I came And what love I had to bring Doo-wop on the corner in the rain Singing Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
