Little Lucy's Blues [Glen Burtnik]

Little Lucy's Blues
Written by Glen Burtnik and Bob Burger
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik

Somebody's looking for the answer,
Somebody dying to cut a deal
Somebody got a cure to cancer,
Somebody drunk behind the wheel
But me, I'm just trying to find my little Lucy

Somebody's bustin an illegal alien,
Somebody's burnin' Hollywood
Somebody forgot he was ever the president,
Somebody wishes he could
But me, I'm just holding up a sign for little Lucy

Somebody's reachin' out to Jesus,
Somebody don't know who to believe
Somebody imitating Elvis
Somebody doin' Lisa Marie
But me, I'm just tryin' to make some time with little Lucy
Me, I'm sneaking up behind my little Lucy 

Rome's gonna burn from here to doomsday
While I play my guitar tryin' to shake up little Lucy

Somebody late for the big rehearsal,
Somebody missed the whole goddamn show
Somebody got a sex change reversal,
Somebody thinks nobody knows
But me, I'm just pourin' out the wine for little Lucy

Rome is gonna burn a week from Tuesday
Just playin' my guitar tryin' to shake up little Lucy
(Wake up, little Lucy, wake up)
Oh, little Lucy

Somebody's waitin' for electrocution.
Somebody's gettin' their tresses curled
Somebody's planning the revolution.
Somebody just glad there's still a world
But me, I'm just makin' up my mind with little Lucy
And me, I'm just turnin' on a dime with little Lucy
Me, I'm just spittin' out a rhyme for my little Lucy

(Yes, this is the original version of the song that became Little Susie by Styx)

Interpretation

Everybody has their passion, whether it's imitating Elvis or dreaming of sex with his daughter Lisa Marie. Others are looking  focused on making a big business deal or curing cancer.  Still others are reaching for Jesus or perhaps planning a revolution. Personally, I'm a fan of Lucille Ball. Even if Rome Burns again, I'm still just going play this song, trying to get her attention.
