Bumpity Bump Lyrics - Singles - Adrian Belew

What's a blue man gonna do 

When he collects the whole set of the blues 

He can't move, 

He can't shake his slump 

A blue man says bumpity bump 

Hey, bumpity bump 

My heart hurts like a drum 

What's a man, 

What's a blue man gonna do 

When he knows the truth of the blues 

He can't find the world a satisfyin' place 

He can't even face his own face 

Why do I hurt like a drum? 

My heart says bumpity bump 

A blue man 

What's he got to do, 

Go to sleep to evade the blues? 

They might follow him right into his dreams 

They might corner him and make him scream 

Why do I feel like a bomb? 

My heart says bumpity bump 

Hey, what's a blue man say 

When he's got to wake up 

To another blue day 

Oh, and nothing is right 

And he's got no disguise 

Who knows, maybe he woke up 

In a different guy 

Why do I feel like a bomb? 

My heart hurts like a drum, why? 

My heart says bumpity bump
