Turn Blue lyrics

See a black El Dorado

Oh, rolling along down below my window

That black girl in the back looks pretty good

Christ, she's beautiful!

Know how soft she is?

Just what you feel like

Oh, I'm so far away from her

Jesus, this is Iggy

Leave...

You might as well come with me

When you ride the ride

There's talk, but I don't want to talk

Oh mamma, I shot myself down

Oh mamma, I shot myself down

Oh mamma, I shot myself down

Oh mamma, yeah mamma, I tell you, I shot myself down

They're stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

I don't know why

They're stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

Damn, I don't know why

They're stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

Stepping on our hearts

Can't you see?

Oh no, stepping on our hearts

How come the blacks, how come they

They copy you so good?

They get off on you so... sexually!

If you want to make it

Young man, you got to make somebody come

Come out of your black

Come out of your black

Black and strong and black

Black and strong and black

Black! Strong! Black!

Jesus, it's cold in this room, it's really cold

You know, I never, I never told you about this but there's one guy

Somebody I really love, he's never around

Well, he's taken things that could be alright, that could be nice

And he make them so ugly, so damn ugly

And we put out the lights on them

Yeah, we'd make it dark, we put out the lights on them

It's idiots like you that screw me up

I know there's nothing to you

And I don't know why I treat you so kind

Come down and dance with me, dance with me

You got nobody left but me

Oh accept me, don't reject me, don't forget me

Mamma, what color will the lights be?

Will they turn blue on me?

Mamma, what color will the lights be?

Will they turn blue on me?

Mamma, I shot myself up

Whoa mamma, I shot myself up

Mamma, I shot myself up up up up up

Mamma, I shot myself up, down, up, down

Mamma, up up up up up

Mamma, I didn't know what I was doing

And I didn't mean to but I did it, I shot myself up

Ma- ma- I- shot- my- self-
