Background

"Sing My Blues Away" was recorded as part of Ecce Homo, an early concept draft of the album that would eventually become Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The song's existence became known to fans when it was played at focus groups in the early 2010s, leading fans to partially re-create the song from memory. Solo demos by Cuomo were eventually released as part of Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years on November 20, 2020, with additional iterations of the song being uploaded in the weeks thereafter.

Lyrics

Everybody got their superpower hiding
Deep within their beating heart
If there only was a damsel in distress
I'd kiss her on a shooting star
The years are flying by without me
Sleeping on the job

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly-dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away

I'm as strong as Paul Bunyan, I want to have some fun
I want to kick some ass
Watch me walking through these hallways after school
I don't even need a hall pass
Terrible fates might await me, I don't even care

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)

I went to the doctor, counselor, and proctor
All they did was waste my time
I'm a chronic case of partial mental break
But baby I think that's just fine
I'll soothe myself with diapason
Cauterize my soul (I don't even care)

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
Blast to hell all the psychobabble therapy
I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away

All these Merck and Pfizers scheming for my dinars
Try to make me think I'm sick
Just because I crank my buds up really loud
Don't mean that I'm a psychotic
Take your drugs and knock yourself out
I'm gon' be just fine (I don't even care)

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
Cast to hell all the psychobabble therapy
I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
Cast to hell all the psychobabble therapy
So I can sing those blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday

I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
Sing your blues out

Will you leave me alone?
Do you have to hurt me?
I'm already insecure
Do you have to undermine me
Make me wonder when I'm needing your support
This is getting really freaky
Time to shut you out (Sleeping on the job)

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
I don't need any kind of psycho therapy
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away

I went to a doctor, counselor, and proctor
All they did was waste my time
I'm a chronic case of total mental break
But baby I think that's just fine
I'll soothe myself with melodies
No more throwing up (I don't even care)

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
I don't need any kind of psycho therapy
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away

All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
I don't need any kind of psycho therapy (Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?)
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues out)
Sing your blues out

Are you here?
Yes we're here
Are you there?
Yes we're there
Can we do it?
Yeah, we can do it
Can you get it?
Get it on, yeah
??? to the beat like that
I live like that cuz' I'm just too fat to be free

Everybody got their superpower hiding
Deep within their beating heart
If there only was a damsel in distress
I'd kiss her on a private car
The years are flying by without me
Sleeping on the job

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly-dallying everyday
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away

Can you do it?
We can do it
Can you do it?
Do it, to it

I'm as strong as Paul Bunyan, I want to have some fun
I want to kick some ass, kick some ass
Watch me walking through these hallways after school
I swear I was in first class
Terrible fates might await me, I don't even care

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away

No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make a secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away

Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
I can sing my blues away (Sing my blues away)
I can sing my blues away (Sing my blues away)
I can sing my blues away (Sing my blues away)
