Rhapsody In Blue
Music by G.Gershwin Lyrics

Suddenly I'm something I'm not

I'm something that you bought

Was it something I said, My friend

Little girl are you tripping on this

Are you tripping all over it

You better come up for air

Are you waking up slowly, Nothing but lonely

Holding, holding your breath

Are you looking for something, I promise you one thing

This is not some paradise

Finally you think you're alright

With all my faith and all my heart

This world, it tears you limb from limb
