He walked into the sunset

He walked out of the dawn

He rode that palomino

It was a one man storm.

Oh is this the party

Ah I just got started.

He disappeared fell down the cracks

He walked out never came back.

Oh black and blue

What are we gonna do with you

Oh black and blue

I guess baby that we're through

Falling down the stairs

Falling out of cars

Lying in the gutter

Just looking at the stars

Oh black and blue

Who's been beating up on you?

Oh is this the party

Ahh I just got started.

It was the biggest circus in town

They came from far and wide

Consuela and her sisters now

Couldn't hold the tide.

She was a girl with a diamond smile

Lost herself on the golden mile.

Oh black and blue

What are we gonna do with you

Oh black and blue

I guess baby that we're through

Falling down the stairs

Falling out of cars

Lying in the gutter

Just looking at the stars.

Oh black and blue

What are we gonna do with you

Oh black and blue

I guess baby that we're through

Oh black and blue

Who's been beating up on you

Oh black and blue

We're stuck together

With just a little glue now.

He was a man sad and over

Caught a bus back to california

Oh black and blue

Look what loves done to you

Who's been beating up on you

Out of this cuckoos nest

I guess you flew

Where are you tonight

Oh black and blue

Who's been beating up on you

Turn out the light

My baby's in flight.
