I'm Mr. Fahrenheit, takin' my time

Among the delicate, high screamin' me, mine and I

So, tell me, aren't those awful big words?

It ain't such a cruel world

It ain't we just spinnin' tops, lost

So, duplicitous, no, it's never been us

And entitlement will cut through any assemblance of trust

So, cut me down, light me up, man, I'm good, that's enough

I can't bear to be around for when they see what we've done

Mister, why so blue?

Can't you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mr. Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

Demented, delicate, a twist in the spine

I'll take the dirt, take my chances with the bleach and the lime

It's alright, can we make all the pain go away?

Just make it stop, the tremor in my brain

Oh, the nerve of the world, oh, the gall and the hurt

The preacher men predict the second coming, oh Lord

If we're confused within an inch of our lives

How much longer can we take our time?

Mister, why so blue?

Can't you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mr. Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

If I'm losing my way, I've got nothing to gain

Then why should I stay in a world full of pain?

How much more can I take, how much longer can I stay?

Mister, why so blue?

Can't you see the children smile at you?

Slow down, Mr. Blue

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?

Mister, why so blue?

Why do the others laugh at you?

God, what have they done to you?
