Julian Casablancas - Out Of The Blue Lyrics

Artist: Julian Casablancas

Album: Phrazes For The Young

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Julian Casablancas

Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way, my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance

And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a purple basket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket

How could you be so perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore the things I did before?

Somewhere along thce way, exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness
Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain

And the ones that I made pay
Were never the ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way
I smacked them as I thanked them
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a leather jacket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket

All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory
All you got to do is sit there, look great, and make them horny
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today in the night and in the morning

How could you be so perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore the things I did before?

Take all your fears, pretend they're all true
Take all your plans, pretend they fell through
But that's what it's like
That's what it's like for most people in this world

Rich or the poor, Muslims or Jews
When roles are reversed, opinions are, too
That's all I'm gonna say now
Before you come knocking on my door now

    the whole album is great, but this was the first song from it that i heard and it was a love at first hearing=)... jules is great at solo, jules is great with the strokes... his music is really deep and his voice is the best male voice i´ve ever heard... right now, i am really happy that he get together with the guys again and i´m looking forward to see them playin live very soon=)... from his solo album, except OUB i love 4 chords of apokalypse and river of the breaklights, but all the songs are fuckin great

    I love him!!! I actually first heard Him in boombox on SNL. His voice is like no other... I've been listening to this song over and over again! It's amazing how low his voice can get... He's completely made me fall in love with his music. The guitar and music is beautiful at the end!(:

    he&#039s 32, it&#039s about time he sobered up. he&#039s phenomenal with or without the drugs. and his solo stuff is dope as ^#%$@.

    First heard it a couple of months ago just before i went away for 6 weeks and had to wait till i got back home to my guitar to learn how to play it. It was worth the wait

    I first heard him on Letterman. I woke up after dozing off and he was singing about pissing on my casket. I was hooked. This dude rocks. And Letterman is the man to have him on the show!

    I adore his voice, so so so much. whether its with the strokes or not. I absolutely love his solo work, great lyrics

    Just heard this song by accident on alt-radio from NYC. Lyrics profound, instrumental arrangement relentless - like some soundtrack of a climactic action scene of the post-2012 apocalypse - but I digress! If this is what Casablancas (and the Strokes) have been giving the listeners, you fans are truly blessed. As for me, I continue to wander the audio adventure as the aimless "fool" I've been for my entire 52 years of post-fetal development.

    Best song on the record. Without a doubt in my mind. Julian is the best. And I love all his other work too.
