Motown Blues Lyrics

If the smoke stained ceiling could talk it'd say

That the man down below was going insane

Not a blink in his eye and I don't know why

But he ain't said a word in three days

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon

If the posters on the wall could tell the whole tale

They'd say I been feeling sorry and my skin turning pale

Yeah, my prayers are getting loud cause I been wondering how

I'm gonna get the hell out of this town

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon

If the voices in my ear were a little more clear

If the pistol in the closet was a little more near

If my brothers from the boro weren't quite so dear

Lord knows I wouldn't be here

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon

I got the Motown blues

But it's nothing new

I been ignoring the ghost in the room

But he ain't going anywhere soon
