2000 Blues

(album: Recycler - 1990)

A hundred thousand dollars
Wouldn't touch the price I paid
Of the hundred thousand moments
Of the times I wish I'd stayed
But even if I had all the time and money
It's still the same old news
Nothing does you any good

When you got 2000 blues

Ten thousand clouds
On a rainy rainy day
Couldn't wash away
All the dust and the haze
But I tried and I tried
To search for all the clues
Why I can't wash away

If I had an airplane
With a co-pilot too
I'd fly to a planet
That was closest to you
I'd set the tracking system
With your safety fuse
And set the countdown
