Blue Glass Blues
Drew James © 2013

Evil it lurks way down deep in the dirt
Till awakened by greed's frozen hands
Wounding all those who dare to come close
Striking them down where they stand

Where is the line between justice and crime?
He once thought the answer was clear
But protecting his kin somehow thickened his skin
When his future hopes all disappeared

Now he's left with the Blue Glass blues
Left with the Blue Glass Blues
Well he knew from the first hit it would come down to this
Nothing but the Blue Glass Blues

Temptation it baits the hook then it waits
With time sitting right on its side
Just try to erase the smile on its face
Millions and millions have tried

When it gets toward the end they all try to pretend
That the pleasure is not worth the pain
But we all know it's only a show
When they reach for that hook once again

Now they're left with the Blue Glass blues
Left with the Blue Glass Blues
Well they knew from the first hit it would come down to this
Nothing but the Blue Glass Blues

I took a dose of that Breaking Bad show
Where the guy cooks the blue dynamite
I was doing just great when I took the bait
I was watchin' at least once a night

I just realized, much to my surprise
There's no more episodes left
Now I'm coming down and there's no more around
Reruns are all that I get

Now I'm left with the Blue Glass Blues
Left with the Blue Glass Blues
Well I knew from the first hit it would come down to this
Nothing but the Blue Glass Blues
