Little Lucy's Blues
Glen Burtnik Lyrics

Somebody's looking for the answer,
There are people searching for solutions to complex issues.

Somebody dying to cut a deal
Someone is desperate to make an agreement.

Somebody got a cure to cancer,
There are claims of having a cure for cancer.

Somebody drunk behind the wheel
Someone is driving under the influence of alcohol.

But me, I'm just trying to find my little Lucy
Despite all the chaos in the world, the artist is focused on finding their own peace in the form of Lucy.

Somebody's bustin' an illegal alien,
There are people targeting illegal immigrants.

Somebody burnin' Hollywood
There are those who wish to destroy the entertainment industry.

Somebody forgot he was ever the president,
There are former presidents who have lost prominence and relevance.

Somebody wishes he could
There are people who regret past decisions.

But me, I'm just holding up a sign for little Lucy
The artist is indifferent to the world's chaos and is instead focused on their relationship with Lucy.

Somebody's reachin' out to Jesus,
People are turning to religion for answers.

Somebody don't know who to believe
There are those who are uncertain about what to trust and believe.

Somebody imitating Elvis, somebody doin' Lisa Marie
People are trying to mimic famous performers like Elvis Presley and his daughter Lisa Marie.

But me, I'm just tryin' to make some time With little Lucy

Me, I'm sneaking up behind my little Lucy

Rome's gonna burn from here to doomsday
The state of the world is chaotic and destined for destruction.

While I play my guitar tryin' to shake up little Lucy
Despite the bleakness of the world, the artist is focused on making Lucy happy with music.

Somebody late for the big rehearsal,
People are losing track of time and missing important events.

Somebody missed the whole goddamn show
Someone has missed an entire event, implying a lack of attention or focus.

Somebody got a sex change reversal,
People are undergoing reversal procedures for past gender transitioning.

Somebody thinks nobody knows
Someone believes their secret is safe from others but may not be the case.

But me, I'm just pourin' out the wine for little Lucy
The artist is enjoying a carefree moment with Lucy, unconcerned with the chaos of the broader world.

Rome is gonna burn a week from Tuesday
The apocalypse is imminent and unpredictable.

Just playin' my guitar tryin' to shake up little Lucy
Despite the end of the world being near, the artist is trying to bring joy to Lucy through music.

Somebody waitin' for electrocution.
There are people facing punishment, potentially even the death penalty.

Somebody gettin' their tresses curled
Someone is undergoing a hair makeover or beauty treatment.

Somebody planning the revolution.
There are those who are preparing for a significant societal shift.

Somebody just glad there's still a world
Amidst all the uncertainty, someone is still grateful for the existence of the world.

But me, I'm just makin' up my mind with little Lucy
The artist is focused on figuring things out with Lucy, unconcerned with the chaos of the outside world.

And me, I'm just turnin' on a dime with little Lucy
The singer is willing to change course in life if it means preserving their relationship with Lucy.

Me, I'm just spittin' out a rhyme for my little Lucy
Despite the chaos of the world, the singer is still trying to make Lucy happy with music.
