Blue

Verse1
My dealer hooks me up
gets me in the game
shoots me up
with a fix that takes away all my pain
I feel my blood run cold
should've done what I was told
my skin tone changes
through my wiery eyes
oh my God what did I do
what did I try
I'm on the floor
I just died

Verse2
I'm up in the sky
lookin' down below
I see my life pass me by
I see my lifeless body layin' there
they load me up
ship me off to God knows where

Bridge
I wanted somethin
to make me feel good
I wanted somethin'
to make me feel cool
I wanted somethin'
'cause I have nothin'

Chorus
I'm Blue
can't you see it in me
it's gonna get to you
less you stop and see
I'm Blue
can't you see
the needle did me in
now I'm in sin
it's all 'cause of you

Verse3
Yeah I blame everyone but me
can't you see
I'm not like you
I have no one
and nothin' can't you see
I don't need you
the drugs love me

(solo)

Verse4
They bring me back to life
set me up with room and board
in hospital 
rip the I.V.'s outta my arms
put my leather pants on
like a lucky charm
I start walkin'
Spoken:(nurse) hey you can't go
(man) I'm outta here

Repeat Chorus
(singing)

Verse4
Hey man
when you gonna cut it out
you think you're on a real bad trip
I don't see you goin' anywhere
you think gettin' high is cool
it tried to get me
when it's offered up
man just walk away

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus
I'm not Blue
it was in me
now it wants you
you gotta stop
it'll take you down
I'm not Blue
I have someone
you can see
I'm livin' the good life
for all of you and me
I'm not Blue
I'm not Blue

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I actually wrote this after seeing Motley Crue's Behind The Music episode. I listened with great intent when Nikki Sixx was telling his story of how he died from a drug overdose. I'm very heavily influenced by Motley Crue and their music. I decided to write a song about it and thought about how his perspective must've been when all that happened to him. I've read "The Dirt" and watched the movie. Both are really accurate on the story of Motley Crue.
