Once upon a time, I told myself
Music was all there was
Like a ghost town in quarantine
No road in, no road out
Music was my mistress
My one true witness
The prayer of a desperate nation
A cheap fragrance, penetrating light
Out of mind, out of sight

There's not much more to say
I wouldn't have it any other way
I love her, she loves me
She loves we, she loves you
Music is blue

She had me in chains at her altar
Busking in the village like a real punter
A jealous maid, I stole to feed her
That's the lie told by a cheater
We robbed Pluto, we ate nothing but beer
Made love on Sunday
We wept and wept and howled and howled
And played hooky on Monday

There's not much more to say
I wouldn't have it any other way
I love her, she loves me
She loves we, she loves you
Music is blue

Once upon a time, like Martinez slime
Music was all there was
Like a private island in quarantine
No boat in, no boat out
Then I found another love
I see music loves you too
The fairies' lie must have been true
To bring me to you
Now everything, everywhere, is blue

There's not much more to say
I wouldn't have it any other way
I love her, she loves me
She loves we, she loves you
Music is blue
There's not much more to say
I wouldn't have it any other way
I love her, she loves me
She loves we, she loves you
Music is blue
