Robert Delong Favorite Color Is Blue
Locked up, naked with socks
I’m watching the phone ring
It’s making me angry
It’s making me mad
Maxed out, minimum wage
My brain is a time bomb
I’m saying goodbye, mom
I’ll see you again
Striking a pose
Smiling in photos without any reason
With people that I’ll never know
I’m out of control, live in a fictional prose
I took an oath, it’s killing me though
‘Cause I don’t believe in the things that I do
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite
Roped up, rot in a cage
I’m having a breakdown
Drinking at a playground, tequila for one
Too short, walk in the streets, I’m hating my haircut
You say that you’re here, but
You live on the Sun
Burning a kite
I’m at a funeral, nothing unusual
Baby, I do what I like
Looking to fight, smoking a blunt and a pipe
Taking a bite, worm in the apple
I knew it would happen, ’cause honey the vermin survive
Swerve to the side, been driving all night
I’m thinking of changing my name, thinking of wrecking a home
‘Cause loving and hating are one and the same
And I’m feeling like everyone’s feeling alone
I’m just looking for something to soften the blow
A second inside of the truth
I don’t see light ’cause
Now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
And now my favorite color is blue
Robert Delong Long Way Down Lyrics
I’ve been fucking around while you’ve been saving the world
I’ve been out of my mind
I’ve been dreaming things and scheming things
I’ve been smoking the poison
You’ve been slinging your anecdotes
I’ve been fucking around while you were saving the world
From nothing
The end, the end
Things will never go our way
The end, the end
Things will never go
So take it in, don’t hold your breath
The bottom’s all I found
We can’t get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
Burning mud in my eyes, blinding me from the truth
If there’s a shadow in me
The dark is a tidal wave inside of you
Taking shots of communion
Getting drunk on your antidote
I’ll save you a seat next to me down below
The end, the end
Everyone will go away
The end, the end
Everything will go
So take it in, don’t hold your breath
The bottom’s all I’ve found
We can’t get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh [x4]
On the long way down
On the long way down, down, down
So take it in, don’t hold your breath
The bottom’s all I’ve found
We can’t get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
So take it in, don’t hold your breath
The bottom’s all I’ve found
We can’t get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
Robert Delong Global Concepts
I think it burns my sense of truth
To hear me shouting at my youth
I need a way to sort it out
After I die, I’ll re-awake
Redefine what was at stake
From the hindsight of a god
I’ll see the people that I used
See the substance I abused
The ugly places that I lived
Did I make money, was I proud?
Did I play my songs too loud?
Did I leave my life to chance
Or did I make you fucking dance?
Symmetry exists only in our mind
Our brain is seeing squares
So I woke up with entropy defined
But the forms still lingered there, in my head
I’ll see the people that I used
See the substance I abused
The ugly places that I lived
Did I make money, was I proud?
Did I play my songs too loud?
Did I leave my life to chance
Or did I make you fucking dance?
Global concepts aren’t common the world round
But we share a mortal frame
That if you can’t hear reacts to every sound
But no two people move the same
I think it burns my sense of truth
To hear me shouting at my youth
I need a way to sort it out
After I die, I’ll re-awake
Redefine what was at stake
From the hindsight of a god
I’ll see the people that I used
See the substance I abused
The ugly places that I lived
Did I make money, was I proud?
Did I play my songs too loud?
Did I leave my life to chance
Or did I make you fucking dance?

Robert Delong Don’t Wait Up
Tell me why you have to be watching me
Nearly all the time
‘Cause even when I look in the mirror now
I see you standing behind
That’s right, that’s right
Had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up tight
So don’t wait up for me on Saturday night
I don’t know why you’re feeling the way you are
But something made you change
I tried to re-assure you so many times
But now I’m tired of the games
That’s right, that’s right
If you keep telling me I have, then I might
You can say what you like
Just don’t wait up for me on Saturday night
You keep on saying you’ve lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I’m s’posed to be
But now I’ve got to the point where I just don’t care
Yeah yeah
Everytime I pick up the telephone
I hear you there on the party line
You ask me if I’m sleeping with all your friends
But they ain’t no friends of mine
That’s right, that’s right
Had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up so tight
So don’t wait up for me on Saturday night
You keep on saying you’ve lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I’m s’posed to be
But now I’ve got to the point where I just don’t care
Yeah yeah
