When the quietly quixotic good Queen Bee
Hatches a plan against you and against me
Before you fall know you can call the one who’ll see it through
When the Man Beast of Og is on the prowl
And he comes at you with a fearsome growl
Just lock up shop, don’t call the cops, would they know what to do?
Call Blue, Captain Blue, he will know what to do
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, and he’ll do it for you
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, he will know what to do
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, and he’ll do it for you
Call Blue, Captain Blue, he will know what to do
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, and he’ll do it for you
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, he will know what to do
Captain Blue, Captain Blue, and he’ll do it for you
Captain Blue, psychedelic commando
Captain Blue, psychedelic commando
Captain Blue, psychedelic commando
Captain Blue

I went down to the centre of my town
Where life is brown and no one comes around
And from a plot – from a vacant lot
I saw the spot where a vision was wrought
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Her eyes were many and her sting was long
And her brood they buzzed in the early dawn
She rose in the air on her wings and graces
And life itself was singing her praises
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
I let my fall, I let myself go
I let myself succumb to the ebb and to the flow
I let her tickle my tongue with her yellow hairs
And ripple my skin with honeyed care
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Queen Bee, come and go with me
We can spend the summer bumbling under every tree
Queen Bee, come and go with me
I’ll be your drone – you can set me free
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind
Queen Bee, high lady of the hive mind

When I See You Blue

When I see you blue
I see me, too
And I am you
When I see you grey
I see the day
You walked away
When I see you shine
I drink the wine
And we are fine
When I see your sky
I know that I
Am going to cry
When I see you blue
I see me, too
And I am you
And I am you
And I am you
And I am you

May all your blues be groovy, may your song have a little swing
May you always be the star of your own movie
May you have a little love for everything
And you’re drowning in liquid colors and you say nothing anymore moves me
I sincerely hope that when they come all your blues are groovy
May all your blues be groovy
Kids, remember the message of Captain Blue – harm no one who isn’t harming others. And may your sorrows all be small and, when they come, may all your blues be groovy.
And you’re drowning in liquid colors and you say nothing anymore moves me
I sincerely hope that when they come all your blues are groovy
May all your blues be groovy
