Mark Knopfler - Blue Tarp Blues lyrics

Air Force One Had a heck of a view Air Force One Had a heck of a view Looking down on the patchwork Of the blue tarp blues I walking thorough the waters With a leak in my shoe I walking thorough the waters With a leak in my shoe That hole in my soul Give me the blue tarp blues I got the blues I got the blue tarp blues There's a crack in the ceiling And the cistern too There's a crack in the ceiling And the cistern too We got full coverage Of the blue tarp blues I got the blues I got the blue tarp blues No it wasn't the weather That sank me and you It was a bad mix of Politics, greed and booze That levy of lies Couldn't hold back the truth We're in deep and not out of reach Focus optimistically I'm going to fly my colors and watch for you I'm going to fly my colors and watch for you Like a flag of hope Above the blue tarp blues I got the blues I got the blue tarp blues I got the blues I got the blue tarp blues
