Colours

Andy look what I did
I just made a painting
If the canvas is your mind
Then music is the paint

If you'd like to see it
I can show you
But you have to use your ears
Get your mind up off the shelf

Andy look what I did
I just made a painting

Joy
Joy to my bestest friend yellow
Is the happiness I felt when
All God's children
Built the Arcadia

Joy
Joy to the boys and the girls of the world
And I love the queens in between

Yellow is the extra elemental aspects
Of your life falling into place

Green is the colour of envy
A small stake planted in the grass

When we grew we wanted to be
What we could never ever be

All you Big Smoke's puffing green
The great green giant
Turns to brass

Purple is the colour we wear
When we think we are the best
But the feeling of freezing to death
Alone and so high

And the furs on our backs
Are the finest of Egypt
Purple is the colour we wear
When we think we are the best

Red is the magic of invention
The honoree forces
Of nature, time and space

The moment is now
To the blackouts and migraines
The unexplainable

Orange is a warm laziness
Never to be taken
Doomed to a stoney place

Falling into a warm laziness
Falling into the crape fields
Just like honey

Orange is a warm laziness
(Falling into warm laziness)
Never to be taken
(Falling into the crape fields)
Doomed it's stoney glaze
(Just like honey)

Pink is the softest colour it's true
Don't ya know
That pink is a containment that we feel
After giving birth

Our feelings of softness and sleep
When we're awake
As we fade to blue

Blue is the saddest of colours
A familiar feeling that we all know
We wear it like blanket
Through the purgatory of our living

And the culture that the vastness
Of art, Neptune and human nature
Can never be won

Andy look what I did
I just made a painting
And if you like what you have seen
Then you put it in a frame

Andy look what I did
I just made a painting
