An Elegy for Baby Blue

Fifteen past Midnight, on the west side
We're dodging shady blocks like landmines
Scum hides under streetlights
And with gun in hand they caught me tonight
We won't capsize in the meantime
We won't break down; we'll be all right
We'll just dust off and head back inside
He didn't know it yet, man, but Dylan was right

Because it's all over now Baby Blue
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you
We'll stay bone dry despite the red eyes and long nights
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true

Come on, man. You've been a good friend
I had that dream where we found you again
Come on, man. We didn't stand a chance
It broke my heart to watch them ride you down Mifflin
Sometimes, at night, I swear I hear you screaming
"No! No! Don't let me go..."

It's all over now Baby Blue
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you
We'll stay bone dry and long nights
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true

Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever
We're never (never) getting caught again
So, if you see them tell them (If you see them tell them)
Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever
We're never (never) getting caught again
So, if you see them tell them (If you see them tell them)
If you see them tell them
"Man, I just want my bike back."
