(Blue and the Old Fella Sing) The Ballad of a Little While Songtext
von The Eastern

Well, killin′ yourself was easy, I guess
But it's just one more thing in my life
That I turned into a great big mess
He says there′s a young Klaus to his aging head
Says, "There's a healthier blue on your
Tellin' machine yours is stacked up in bed"

Say, come back again, my only friend
Haven′t seen your face in a little while
Ah, don′t tell me, ain't nothin′ you owe me
And I got time for a little while

You say I been workin', I ain′t that the news
It's pretty hard to go dancin′ when you
Can't even get the shit right off your shoes
Said it's gettin′ darker and darker earlier each year
Well, you don′t see too many pretty girls anymore 'round here

Say, come back again, my only friend
Haven′t seen your face in a little while
Ah, don't tell me, ain′t nothin' you owe me
And I got time for a little while


Said I don′t mind just where I lie
Just keep these old bones out of the way
Said I don't mind just where I lie
Just keep these old bones out of the way, oh, out of the way
Yeah, come on

Said, "Put your money down, blue, on the table
Well, I might let you sink one or two if you're able"
He held that cue like you would an axe
He said, "The problem with you young fellas
Is you just don′t know how to relax"
It′s true
He turned to face the glass, stained tobacco yellow
Thought some things are built to last, other
Things just cast a really long bloody shadow

Say, come back again, my only friend
Haven't seen your face in a little while
Ah, don′t tell me, ain't nothin′ you owe me
And I got time for a little while

Said I don't mind just where I lie
Just keep these old bones out of the way, oh, out of the way
Said, well, come back again, my only friend
And I got time for a little while
