You woke screaming “Blue Jesus”
And rolled back on to your side
You asked me in the morning
To take a walk down the line
You rambled on about politics
You threw your arms in the air
You sang out “Blue Jesus, take me away from here.”
Later I found you drunk and on the floor
You were going on about nothing
Blue Jesus and your fears
You’ve lost yourself in sadness,
you’re lost inside your shame
You’re holding on to nothing
‘cept that Blue Jesus on a chain.
