Odyssey

Verse: I'm Mr. Fahrenheittaking 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 aroundfor when they see what we've done Chorus: 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? Verse 2: 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? Chorus: 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? Bridge: 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? Chorus: 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?
