Balcan blues

Couldn´t sing another song but this one
In the smoke of this Balcan blues...

Why like this, please tell me how do I live

From time to time I see that look on your face
Life´s gone to hell, just see you there: walking down the lost place
I won´t even ask you why, there´s too much sorrow man, there´s too much pain yeah...
Got me thinking ´bout my past, ´bout my present days and all my future pains, ain´t no shame, no disgrace, let the world have a taste
So I sing the blues for all the people I´ve lost, my father and many more
And now I take you down to the deep of my soul
I´ll show you no matter what right here´s where you belong
So tell me, why don´t you smile , why don´t you live , it´s a different kind of story when your´re caught  up in a sin
Brother, you´ve smoked just one on a day and your ambitions were gone, gone straight to hell
Don´t you call me, just come, I understand
Cause I was looking myself and only pain I´ve found
I was looking myself and I found no clues
Well, then I guess I rather vanish in the smoke of this Balcan blues

I´m living on Balcan blues
I´m living on Balcan

Why like this, please tell me: How do I live?
