Darker Shade - Fat Eyes Crew

Sax men just get my motor purring You fall for 'em, and you love 'em! And the next thing you know They're borrowing money from you and spending it on other girls Then one morning, you wake up And all that's left behind is a couple of chipped reeds And a tube of toothpaste, all squeezed out But then I meet the next one And I'm lost all over again! I hear a trumpet singing And the moonlight fills the sky A trombone whispers softly And the clouds keep driftin' by But when a saxophone starts moaning Well, the moon drops out of view To bring a darker shade of blue I hear a piano twinklin' And the stars all fill the night A bassline starts a-climbin' To make sure the stars shine bright But when a saxophone starts crying That's when nighttime takes its cue To turn a darker shade of blue A ukulele strummin' Is a carefree kind of sound It smiles and makes me do the same But no one floats forever, yeah And when I hit the ground A tenor sax is who's to blame A violin will warm you From the dusk come to the dawn The drums are like a friend who I can always count upon Oh, but a sax is just a man That blows a kiss and then he's gone! Like a train that's only passing through That leaves you lonely at the station Called a darker shade of blue! Oh, yeah A sax is like a siren And it's one I know too well But still I never listen And every time I fall! Every time I fall! So keep the music playing From the heart and on the stand 'Cause life's a long hard road, yeah But it's better with a band! And when a saxophone starts wailing I pray someone lend a hand Before he breaks my aching heart in two The lesson I keep learning Is let the brass keep burning To keep the night from turning To a darker shade of blue!

I tried, you know, just to tow the line Love all the neighbors and live in the light Sure I stumbled sometimes Self-contained; a convenient lie Every source of pain, every sting of pride had to come from the outside But you You won't even fight me fair Wait for the darkness catch me unaware Yeah, you pull me close Then you twist the knife I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in Mirror to my left, and mirror to my right A void stretching out on either side Is it your face or mine? Try to leave a mark We carve our names All cornered animals behave the same then get eaten alive So that's it I wash my hands, I cut my ties to the world and its vicious appetites Yes I am ready to die Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready to die I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in Something's gotta give when the water keeps on rising and the walls are closing in How long can I keep this tired act together? It's a short ambulance ride and then the waiting room forever So tell me how do I make the right move now? Prepare me for the moment when my mind goes out I am trying hard to follow the sound You won't even fight me fair Wait for the darkness catch me unaware Then you twist the knife

I'm parting ways, part of me Rain, my darkness Why does it break my heart? Pride, suddenly over my head You're my dark Why does it break my heart? Sometimes I hear your voice I'm overcome Oh my darker side, I'll find your light I know you better than that I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break Stay down, you're safe now in hiding Face down, your pale heart is lightning Sometimes I hear your voice I'm overcome Oh, my darker side, I'll find your light I know you better than that I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break Oh, my darker side, I'll find your light I know you better than that I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break I'm parting ways, part of me Rain, my darkness Why does it break my heart? Oh, my darker side, I'll find your light I know you better than that I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break I'll carry the weight, I'll carry the weight Until the moment I break

Don't let love let you down It's been fine up to now Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now Don't let time tie you down It's been fine up to now Sahara, there is life in the desert Sahara, let the sands run away But in my heart and in my head I know that she'll wait for me Oh-oh, Sahara brings me down She will take up all your time Then she'll laugh and cut you down Do you still hold a light? (still hold a light) Do you still hold a light for me? Don't let fires burn too low Wild-eyed winds, they still blow Sahara, I just walked into your world Sahara, don't walk out on me now But in my heart and in my head I know that she'll wait for me Oh-oh, Sahara brings me down She will take up all your time Then she'll laugh and cut you down Do you still hold a light? But in my heart and in my head I know that she'll wait for me Oh-oh, Sahara brings me down She will take up all your time Then she'll laugh and cut you down Do you still hold a light? (still hold a light) Do you still hold a light for me? For me, for me, oh
