The Teardrop Explodes - Wilder

Colours Fly Away

More by luck than judgment, here am I
Smiling at the fighting once again
Frightened of my hands
Frightened of my friends
Call it by a very different name

Colours fly away from you
Lost in valid wondering
Angels fly their camouflage
Darkness that is shattered by the dawn

There's a new boy here to play our game
Shoot my eyes out, I could wake up dreaming
This is where I score
Wise up to my tricks
Colour in my face and yell extremist

Colours fly away from you
Lost in valid wondering
Angels fly their camouflage
Darkness that is shattered by the dawn

Someone's sleeping in my attic room
Someone's watching everything I'm doing
Harry Ranjeet sings (sings)
Save a song for me
Heard you on the radio today

Colours fly away
