When I can't dream in the past When I can't hope for the future When I can't face the biff and bash of now Where do I go? Where do I go? When my purse is empty And when my blood goes underground When clammy day after day Dribbles on my neck Where do I go? Where do I go? I go off the planet To my own lovely world Where the only colour is blue Oh, blue, my sweet blue Who knows what you can do Blue, my blue, my sweet blue When I can't dream in the past When I can't hope for the future And when I'm stuck in the red of now Where do I go? Where do I go? I go off the planet To my own lovely world Where the only colour is blue Oh, blue, my sweet blue Who knows what you can do Oh, blue, oh, blue, my sweet blue Floating like an ocean in the air Foaming like surf through my hair I build my own palace Where I can live without you I go off the planet Where I can breathe blue Where my heart Is a playing fountain of blue
