Mr. Optimist Blues Songtext
von Jonathan Roy

Aye, aye, going down, lanes are broken
Lips, salty dry, taste desperation
Aye, aye, tell me why you leave the stovetop on?
Burnt fingertips of the undecided

Even when our ragged shoes don′t fit
Mr. Optimist Blues, we'll hate
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no, yeah man)
Mr. Optimist Blues, aye
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no, yeah man)
Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no)

Piece in my heart, king-sized jigsaw puzzle
Can′t make no sense, never good at logic
Red, red, soulless blue, couldn't sleep last night
Shut off the brain train, rainy shipwrecks


Even when our ragged shoes don't fit
Mr. Optimist Blues, we′ll hate
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no)
We′ll hate
(Yeah man, yeah yeah, yo)
Mr. Optimist Blues, aye
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no, yeah man)
Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no)

It don't matter to me too much
Maybe arms can′t touch
Any heart of a dreamer
Sometimes they shake, sometimes they fall
I keep giving it my all
Don't label us, no, won′t be gone, drifters

Even when our ragged shoes don't fit
Mr. Optimist Blues, we′ll hate
Aye (oh no no, no no, no, no no)
(Yeah man)
Aye (yeah yeah, yo)
Mr. Optimist Blues
Oh no (oh no no, no no, no, no no)
(Yeah man) Mr. Optimist (Mr. Optimist Blues)
Mr. Optimist Blues (oh no no, no no, no, no no)

It don't matter to me too much
Miracles, can't search
Yeah, Mr. Optimist Blues
Sometimes they shake, sometimes they fall


Aye, Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
Aye, yeah man
(Oh no no, no no, no, no no, yeah man)
Mr. Optimist, Mr. Optimist Blues
