lyrics

Your mind's been tingling and it's 'bout to itch.
You're stuck in the middle, don't know which is which.
You're talking and it could go one for days.
Tu me parle en français, et je dis por que?
Walking home through the avenues,
hypnotized by walls of vivid yellow, green, blues.
Portrayals of scenes, of shapeless psychedelic dreams.
Crystal clear voices bursting at the seams.

Stopped for a while around the park.
Street light lit, accented by the dark.
Like a moon on your face, and not a star beyond a chart.
On the canvas made a trace, and then turned it into art, I said

"All the things you're trying to say, why don't you paint them on a wall for me?" Replace all of the white and grey with what you're really thinking.

Ice water on a flaming heart.
Otto Bon driving mixed with Mario Kart.
All the things I thought that I'd never see
were permanent there, over the street.

And just when I thought that we were done,
I turned around to see the rising morning sun
showing us what we did, on the canvas made a trace.
On the canvas made a trace and now, now it's been replaced and

All the things you're trying to say...

all of the things that you're trying to say, don't you throw them away, just
paint them on a wall for me.
all of the things that you're trying to say, don't you pour them away, just
paint them on a wall for me.
