From the 1996 sessions · Reconstructed 2026 · Doomed To Live, Side B 

Instrumental intro: guitar feedback builds then breaks into an Indian-sounding funeral dirge, occasional bass drum and tom-tom mimicking tabla. As the dirge sounds like it comes to a natural end, the main verse crashes in…

Once out on a highway
To get back home
Well you never understood
That it did no good
Looking back on the hood
You're a rolling stone

Now you see it different
What a way to go
And you walk like me
And you talk like me
With a quick "see you later"
And away you go

Baby blue
Baby blue
The sun is going down
Over you

Once you had a reason
A girl with chestnut hair
But you saw it all comin'
And you never quit runnin'
And you give yourself time
To get out of there

Don't talk to me about treason
Cos I'm aware
That we're all on the brink
With your head on the blink
And I can't stop to think
Or I'd still be there

Baby blue
Baby blue
The sun is going down
Over you

That you lied just shows to me
From the cradle to the grave

Better take a look and see
Better get yourself saved
Get yourself free

Baby blue
Baby blue
The sun is going down
Over you

There's a life you chose to lead
From the cradle to the grave

Better take a look and see
Better get yourself saved
Get yourself free

Guitar break echoes the Indian-sounding intro

We lived our lives in stations
Out the pages of a magazine
But you never quit talkin'
And you're all sleepwalkin'
And you wanna hit
Your own bed and dream

And when the night surrounds you
And growing cold
Well if it wasn't such a drag
You'd put it in your bag
And you'd pick yourself up
And get on the road

Baby blue
Baby blue
The sun is going down
The sun is going down
The sun is going down
Over you

Extended instrumental outro ending with the same guitar feedback as the beginning
