Blanche's tune

Singin it now, home from the meet

Her answers shined, I tap my feet

That lady brought me to ruin

That's why I'm singing Blanche's tune

 

Blanche's tune

Sincerity's where there's nothin too much

Golly I swear I'd love just to touch

Her original face but nothin doin

That's why I'm singing Blanche's tune

 

The lion rides in winter

I'm the mouse at its feet

A real beginner

Bugged the bodhi in me

To hop up and go off with the king of the beasts

 

Blanche's tune

I took the drive south to see her on trial

The jury dropped jaws, the judge he just smiled

She led them all out to the moon

That's why I'm signing Blanche's tune

 

Another beseeched of her how do we care

She answered directly without any hair

When you turn to emptiness everyone's there

Oh honey I sure fell for you

That's why I'm singing Blanche's tune

Lagu Blanche


Nyanyikan sekarang, pulang dari pertemuan
Jawabannya bersinar, aku mengetuk kakiku
Wanita itu membawaku ke kehancuran
Itu sebabnya saya menyanyikan lagu Blanche

Lagu Blanche
Ketulusan di mana tidak ada yang berlebihan
Astaga, aku bersumpah aku ingin sekali menyentuhnya
Wajah aslinya tapi tidak apa-apa
Itu sebabnya saya menyanyikan lagu Blanche

Singa naik di musim dingin
Aku tikus di kakinya
Pemula sejati
Menyadap bodhi dalam diriku
Untuk melompat dan pergi dengan raja binatang buas

Lagu Blanche
Saya mengambil perjalanan ke selatan untuk melihatnya diadili
Juri menganga, hakim dia hanya tersenyum
Dia memimpin mereka semua ke bulan
Itu sebabnya saya menandatangani lagu Blanche

Yang lain memohon padanya bagaimana kita peduli
Dia menjawab langsung tanpa rambut
Ketika Anda beralih ke kekosongan, semua orang ada di sana
Oh sayang aku pasti jatuh cinta padamu
Itu sebabnya saya menyanyikan lagu Blanche

Lagu Blanche
Nyanyikan sekarang, itu akan berulang
Sementara wajahnya bersinar, aku mengetuk kakiku
Wanita itu membawaku ke kehancuran
Itu sebabnya saya menyanyikan lagu Blanche

Singa naik di musim dingin
Aku tikus di kakinya
Pemula sejati
Buggin sang buddha dalam diriku
Untuk melompat dan pergi dengan raja binatang buas
