3 o'clock in the morning, here at mine
Sitting here so lonely, hold on to my goodbye.
3 o'clock in the morning, here am I
Sitting here so lonely, so lonesome I could cry.
And a blue colored rat
And a blue corvette
Bloom
Oh, so loathsome to you
Blue
Oh, so lonesome to you
Call an ambulance, she's turning blue.
or
Call an alchemist, she's turning blue.
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
or
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Calling out to me, she's turning blue.
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Call it off to thus, she's turning blue.
or
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Call an optimist, she's turning blue.
APC released a DVD/CD package entitled 'aMOTION'. During Maynard's commentary on the (contest winner) video for 'Blue', he quotes the song's lyrics as 'Call an optimist, she's turning blue.' I have yet to come across a lyric site that doesn't list 'Call it aftermath, she's turning blue' as the correct words.
Callin' after me, she's turning blue.
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Calling out the munchies. Turning blue...
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Can I escape with my moon fallen revreies?
Can I escape with my blue fallen reveries?
Cutting off the machine, she's turning blue.
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Good guy, almighty
Good God, almighty
I've had a headache, yeah
I've had a bad day, yeah
I've, been wishing and wishing away that you'll die.
I, wishing and wishing away as you go.
In Cannes, a pin
Ink on a pin
Taking off our clothes like a violent crime scene
Taking off our gloves like a violent crime scene
