lyrics

i heard a record playing colours of the disc
spectral in the light
red red red and orange in the corner
tattooing flowers on a white wall

the light it shone into the street
a driver crashed his car
a pilot crashed his plane
synthetic sun shining out of the window

my hair was green
my lips were blue
i was mistaken thinking my arms were violet
before they were indigo

meanwhile i was hiding from the infestation
i was never brave or stupid enough
to stay
and fight in the dark

and they were catching
eggs were hatching
and the colour of their wings
was the most beautiful thing i ever laid eyes on
but it wasn't enough

my hair was green
my lips were blue
i was mistaken thinking my arms were violet
before they were indigo
