Dancing Colors
It couldn't get any duller --
Dancing and drinking and saying things meant to amuse the others
Who see the world as they were shown by their mothers.
Why can't you be more like your brother who
Makes a good living on the avenue?
He always knew what he wanted to do.
He always knew that that's what he was s'posed to to.
If only he could act sincerely.
If only I could see you clearly.
I'm picturing you in colors
Chosen by someone besides yourself
Who wants for you the very best that life and love can give
Because your life is meant for only you to live.
So, give it color.
We're doing the dance of colors,
Making impressions that always change from one day to another.
We'll only be dancing colors,
Dancing and painting ourselves into the memories of those who looked at us
From different points of view.
If only we had known how much they wanted to
See us laughing with the others.
Dynamic dancing colors, whispering hues,
Those you wanted to use to meet the others.
A beckoning field of colors
Dancing behind your offering eyes so deep and warm and full of memories
That you want to forget.
We'll only be dancing colors
Dancing through distant, nostalgic scenes with those you love
And those whom you could have thought better of
If only you had known how well they thought of you.
Baring your truest colors.
Do you have something in a different color?
Dynamic dancing colors, whispering hues,
Those you wanted to use to meet the others.
Blending in with the others,
Looking for lights in the Southern skies to lead the way
From your frustration with the choices you've made,
And may you find your true love waiting there someday
Wearing your favorite colors.
Never mind all of the others who
Dance with each other, each a different hue.
They're always moving in and out of view.
They're always moving as they are wont to do.
We'll only be dancing colors
Dancing through distant, nostalgic scenes with those you love
And those you wanted to be closer to
If only you had known how well they thought of you.
We'll only be dancing colors
Dancing through distant, nostalgic scenes with those you love
And those you wanted to be more concerned about.
