BLUES TRANSFUSION
     

[Blues feel].

Got a head full of arguments and a body full of mixed-up desires
Got a briefcase full of documents and a brain full of tangled wires
Got a car that won't go and two eyes that can't read
Got some lips that don't know when to kiss or to plead

You know what I need?
I say do you know but I need?
I'll tell you what I need
I need a blues transfusion

Got two lungs full of gases made of things that don't belong above the ground
Got two ears full of nonsense that they tell me are the latest sounds
Got a cat that won't come home and a wife that won't leave
Got a doctor telling me I don't know how to grieve

You know what I need?
I say do you know what I need?
Let me tell you what I need
I need a blues transfusion

[solo].

Got two feet that want to walk in the opposite way to where I'm going
Got a house that's falling down and a son who says my prejudice is showing
Got an old broken suitcase and some illegal weed
Gonna go see a man who can make a guitar bleed

Yeah he knows what I need
He knows what I really need
I need a blues transfusion
I need a blues transfusion
I need a blues transfusion
