The American Scene - Royal Blue lyrics

(Verse) I was a coward disguised as a lover Of a beautiful invisible truth I was a burnin' man In the well lit corner of an empty room (Chorus) I was cruel, I was so cruel I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin' I was cool, I was so-so cool I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin' (Verse 2) Pa**ed out and indifferent, yeah, I had a vision Lay here long enough to make it a scene I was convincin' my new friends I was missin', nothin' and everythin' Steadily repeat, I was in luv with what they needed Nothin' and everythin', everythin', everythin', everythin' (Chorus) Then I told you I was cruel, I was so cruel I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin' And I was cool, I was so-so cool I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin' I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue (Bridge) It's freezin' in Oakland He's holdin', I'm coastin' I should be done for the night As soon as I'm home You'll be up and goin' In transit but trapped at a light (Chorus) I was cruel, I was so cruel I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin' I was cool, I was so-so cool I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin' I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue
