The Fireman Is Blue

My love, I'm blue
It's not because of you
I'm forgetting my name
A name I once knew

My love, I'm blue
Like a truth that's not true
Like a news on the news that's not new

My love, don't you cry
It's just the colour of the sky
That's reflecting on you
And I
My love's not a lie
But it's not showing through
My letters got lost
The day the mailman quit out of the blue

My love, I'm blue
Like a story split in two
Like the third man on the moon
And the last man in the queue

My love, I'm blue
Like a T-rex in a zoo
Like a vacant hotel room
With no view

My love, can't you see
It's just the colour of the sea
That's reflecting on you
And me
My love, don't lie
It's affecting you
When the water turns red
And the fisherman's all dressed in blue

My love, I'm blue
Like a forgotten stripped screw
In the hull of a boat
That has nowhere to sail to

My love, I'm blue
Like a prison tattoo
On the arm of Venus De Milo's statue

My love, don't be ashamed
To touch the blue part of the flame
To see if it hurts
Once again
My love, come lie
There's enough room for two
No one is coming for me
No one is coming for you
Cause the fireman is blue
