Bluefish Lyrics by Gary Jules

Greetings From the Side

1998

[Verse 1]
Take care
She will fall on you like weather
You don't hear a thing, but the beating of wings and the lights go out

[Chorus]
Hmm-mm
There you are
Standing in the doorway
With a cigarette, you say
"Hey rock and roll, did you really have to sell your soul
Or were you just playing the fool?
That shame is mine, you know, I've done it too
Nineteen's fire in the lighthouse has burnt out at twenty-two"

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh
Ooh-oh, ooh

[Verse 2]
She will come
To any whispered invitation
Try to send her away, she did not come here to play
She ain't leaving empty-handed
Hmm-mm

[Hook]
And there we are
Here we are

[Chorus]
You say, "Time isn't mine to save or to waste
But I might stick around 'til the season changes shoes
And the fortunate ones will always get to choose
Nineteen's fire in the lighthouse has burnt out at twenty-two"

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh
Ooh-oh, ooh
Ooh, oh-oh, ooh
Ooh-oh, ooh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
Take care
She will fall on you like weather
You don't hear a thing, but the beating of wings and the lights go out
Hmm-mm
And there we are
