James Street Blues

I was walking but the streets were bare
The only activity was at Mave’s Cafe
There was something floating in the air
It was nondescript but it filled me with anxiety

The handle on the driver’s side broke
So I climbed out through the passenger’s side
I walked down James Street alone
The blues will keep you occupied

Don’t feel sorry, you were unaware
The pain that I was feeling could’ve come from anywhere
It could’ve come from Russia, it could’ve come from Belarus
It could’ve come from the smell of your sweet perfume

I couldn’t describe the feeling I was having
Other than to say it left too much on my mind
So I stuffed a poem inside my coat
The blues will keep you occupied

So you can take the rest of me aggressively
Spread it out in a million pieces and see what catches your eye
Between the skin and bone it's just fibrous muscle
Between work and home is just side hustle

I almost caught a butterfly once
But I didn’t think it would be very kind
Sometimes you just go on a hunch
The blues will keep you occupied

Once you speak you’ll never get those words back
Once a week it’s nice to take a hot bath
It’s good to keep a clear head, cause you never know what you’ll find
The blues will keep you occupied
