Odyssey - Hellions

I’m Mr. Fahrenheit

Taking my time among the delicate

High, screaming me, mine and I

So, tell me

Aren’t those awful big words?

And ain’t it such a cruel world?

And ain’t we just spinning tops, lost

So duplicitous, no, it’s never been us

And entitlement will cut through any semblance of trust

So, cut me down, light me up, man, I’m good, that’s enough

I can’t bear to be around for when they see what we’ve done

Mister, why so blue?

Can’t you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mister Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

Demented delicate, a twist in the spine

I’ll take the dirt, take my chances with the bleach and the lime

It’s alright

Can we make all the pain go away?

Just make it stop

The tremor in my brain

Oh, the nerve of the world!

Oh, the gall and the hurt!

The preacher men predict the second coming, oh lord!

If we’re confused within an inch of our lives

How much longer can we take our time?

Mister, why so blue?

Can’t you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mister Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

If I’m losing my way

If I’ve got nothing to gain

Then why should I stay in a world full of pain?

How much more can I take?

How much longer can I stay?

Mister, why so blue?

Can’t you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mister Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

Mister, why so blue?

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?
