Never felt too good about my life looked like |
|
I'd end up on the scraphead with the other dogs of night |
|
Insecure and dangerous |
|
Never had the chances or the breaks that the other kids had |
|
So you drag your life through the dust |
|
But in you there was that glow - |
|
And a coat of indigo |
|
Problems will come and go - |
|
In my coat of indigo |
|
In the dark |
|
I wear my coat of many colours - |
|
In some way it covers where |
|
I'm from So you drag your life through the dust - |
|
Across the red and gold sunset skies |
|
My wishes always lead me beyond the confines of this life |
|
So much to give |
|
If I'd had a chance |
|
I would have burnt this place down |
|
Why did the espectre of no hope choose our town? |
|
But in you there was that glow - |
|
And a coat of indigo |
|
Problems will come and go - |
|
In my coat of indigo |
|
I've been trapped for most of my life in this airtight box |
|
If I could get just one arm free - |
|
Then the world would notice me |
|
If I could get just one arm free - |
|
Swim to the surface where |
|
I can breath |
|
If I could get just one arm free - |
|
There's a chance that the world will notice me |
|
If I could get just one arm free - |
|
There's a chance that the world will notice me |
|
If I could get just one arm free - |
|
I could swim to the surface where |
|
I can breath |
|
Everyday the alarm bell rings - |
|
And I face another murder of a day |
|
And I look out of my window - |
|
And the sky is deathly grey |
|
All the bleakness and the industry of the world groans as it starts another day |
|
Its masters demand their pound of flesh - |
|
I cannot take this way |
|
So I look to the safety of my subconscious - |
|
Where I wash away all my fear |
|
And I will dive into a deep blue lagoon - |
|
And swim away from here |
