The American Scene Royal Blue lyrics

I was a coward disguised as a lover
Of the beautiful invisible truth
I was a burning man
In the well lit corner of an empty room

I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying
I was cool, I was so, so cool
I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

Passed out and indifferent
Yea, I had a vision
Lay there long enough
To make it a scene
I was convincing my new friends I was missing
Nothing and everything
Steadily repeat I was in love with what they needed
Nothing and everything, everything, everything, everything

Man I told you I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying
And I was cool, I was so, so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

I was a royal shade of blue,
I was a royal shade of blue

It's freezing in Oakland
He's holding, I'm coasting
I should be done for the night
As soon as I'm home
You'll be up and going
In transit but trapped at a light

I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying
And I was cool, I was so, so cool
I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

I was a royal shade of blue,
I was a royal shade of blue
