A colourful ride.

lyrics

Colourful -

I’m sitting on a broken chair
Looking out to anywhere
With all the pretty, silly girls who can’t see me
And a group of Higher Lords
Are playing harpsichords
While Raymond serves the iced-tea rather badly
With sugar bark and salt sea
And I’m forced to wonder why, why, why
I have to stay here ...

But it doesn’t matter anyway
I’m only here to ‘til Saturday
May as well take a peek next door
Where the King is counting stars
With asteroids in jars
Hope he finds the time to walk his old gold fish
With arthritic gout stitch
But when I look behind the sun
It’s always very colourful ...

And I’m beginning to wonder
If it’s time for a change

So tell the maid I’m going for a little stroll around the garden
I’ll play some hopscotch
Then I’ll check my stopwatch
No botch...it’s top notch!!!

Perhaps I’ll stay out here
I’d rather hide than be stuck inside
With those boring, boring Lords
Let me go, let me go, let me go ...

Mexico sounds nice
Especially at this time of the equinox
I’ll pack a bag right now!

Flight 265 flying direct to Mexico City
Boarding Gate 26A now!

Captain Bigglesworth Smythe speaking
Fasten your seat belts!

And when I’m flying above the clouds
I won’t look down
I won’t look down ...

Would you like some refreshments sir
Only twenty dollars a glass of our finest wine
Maybe a pretzel and a few peanuts on the side?

And a little time away
Should put to rest my phobic fears
Of chandeliers
Yet in my sweaty hand
I hold a tiny plane
And I thought I saw myself inside
Looking out at me
While sipping Raymond’s tea
From a plastic cup
And it makes me think of home
And George the unicorn
Standing in the rain all alone

So call me up an albatross
And I’ll be on my way
Moving at the speed of thought
That’s the game I play
Everything I’ve known kept safe in my mind
Just tune into pineal
And see my life so colourful

And the coloured suns are now made one ...

Now I’m back upon this broken chair
Looking out to anywhere
And all my friends are here
To lift the atmosphere
As Raymond leaps from diving board
And breaks another harpsichord
Silly boy...
