My father once built me a beautiful shell I could crawl back inside it Avoid all the crowds My mother once told me My darling Lu You’re no better than anyone They’re no better than you They’re no better than you
Well perhaps she’s right And perhaps it’s true
‘Cause I feel pretty bad and they seem pretty blue
All marching in lines Fiercely shaking our heads Quite sure we don’t like it But afraid it will end So let’s spin in circles And let’s throw back our heads Then fall down beside me love And we’ll stand up again And we’ll fall down again
Are we all the same? Just the same sane fools
Frightened by love and in love with our rules I wanna be loved for my beautiful blue I want you to show me the blue within you
