Royal Blue - The American Scene

I was a coward disguised as a lover

Of a beautiful invisible truth

I was a burnin' man

In the well lit corner of an empty room

I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'

I was cool, I was so-so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'

Passed out and indifferent, yeah, I had a vision

Lay here long enough to make it a scene

I was convincin' my new friends I was missin', nothin' and everythin'

Steadily repeat, I was in luv with what they needed

Nothin' and everythin', everythin', everythin', everythin'

Then I told you I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'

And I was cool, I was so-so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'

I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue

(Bridge)

It’s freezin' in Oakland

He’s holdin', I’m coastin'

I should be done for the night

As soon as I’m home

You’ll be up and goin'

In transit but trapped at a light

I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'

I was cool, I was so-so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'

I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue
