Baby Blue Lyrics

Pretty pictures and circular cars
Disco bars and cool guitars
You're making me wake up
You're making me sleepy
For the things that are running loose

I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue
I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby, blue

Cocaine parties and blow on keyboards
Make-out sessions and those slow jams
I do it discreetly, I gotta get up and
watch TV with no will to live.

I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue
I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue

I hate it when you're totally boring
and everything's alright and young and threatening
It's easy riding to the blues hotel
you're making my heart ache, my stomach swell

I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue
I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue

I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue
I'm wasting my time with you,
my baby, baby blue.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is all about heroin. The Warlocks is highly influenced by the Velvet Underground, especially the Phoenix album. Like the majority of the songs on the Phoenix album, I think this is just a song about heroin (or any drug really) and how it takes over your life.

i think this is a bit closer for these 2 verses:

Cocaine parties and burned-out keyboards Make-out sessions and long slow jams (i think) I gotta get straight, yeah, I gotta get out but I'm watching TV with no will to live.

I hate it when you're totally boring and everything's alright and non-threatening
