Busted and Blue Lyrics

Where does it come from?
When everything waltzed outside
Busted and blue
How in the universe
Through the lithium
Busted and blue

I was asked by a computer
A shadow on the wall
An image made by Virgil
To rule over us all
To amplify the sirens
And to find real amends
Go through the echo-chambers
To other worlds away

All my life
All my life
Beam a light
On me, I am a satellite
And I can't get back without you
Be my love
Be my love
Be my love
Be my love

Where do they come from?
The wires that connect to us
Weightless and fall on your body
'Till we're invisible
I'm with you throughout it, choose
Busted and blue

All my life
All my life
Beam a light
On me, I am a satellite
And I can't get back without you
Be my love
Be my love
Be my love
Be my love

Busted and 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.

So, somebody changed the lyrics, and now they're wrong. Looks like I'll have to explain some stuff. The first lyric that's wrong is "when everything was outside". Damon very clearly doesn't sing "was" and if you look at the art book that comes with the deluxe vinyl version of the album, some of the lyrics from this song are on one page. It shows that the correct lyric is "when everything WALTZED outside". The second lyric that's wrong is "and to find real amends, I'm through the echo chambers". How the fuck does that make any sense at all? Damon clearly sings "and to find real amends, GO through the echo chambers", which also makes a whole lot more sense. Now, I'm going to change the lyrics back to their correct form, but please remember for future reference that just because some other lyrics site lists the song's lyrics as being different doesn't mean that site is correct.

@Dekagamer7X9 the problem is that lyrics find are the default site used to index song lyrics. They will not let you amend them (unless you are a moderator) ... and then it only changes them on this site, not the index site (which a lot of websites use).

@sokorny man, that's too bad. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing obviously wrong lyrics on here that can't be changed.
