On a beach twenty yards from the roadside
Back again 6 AM far from sleep
Must be 290 blue on the water
It's gray to me 3 CV is all I see
Green can only hold you in the garden
Too much red will go right to your head
But if it's all the same to you
Give me back my blue
Other colors fade anyway
I'm colorblind three way tragedy
Pantone memory grayscale eyes
Maybe i'm paranoid yeah that's my problem
You almost have to be when you look like me
Stopped in the shade of a road sign
When the sun rose like a bomb
Tried to read the simple writing
But the letters came out wrong
It's all white lines to me
But things are getting clearer
I can almost read the writing in the mirror
I'm colorblind three way tragedy
Pantone memory grayscale eyes
Maybe i'm paranoid yeah that's my problem
You almost have to be when you look like me
Green can only hold you in the garden
Too much red will go right to your head
But if it's all the same to you
Give me back my blue
Other colors fade anyway
I'm colorblind freeway tragedy
Pantone memory x-ray eyes
Where'd all the color go on my radio?
You almost have to be a satellite to see.
Me & Judas lost at sea
Under electric twilight fading
I look at him he sees through me
40 days and we're still waiting
I'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
I'm not welcome but i think i'll stay
Me & Jonas lost at sea
Deep inside a dream we're trailing
Heard him whisper wait for me
Sun goes down and we're still sailing
I'm not nervous but i think i'll lay back anyway
I'm not helpless but i think i'll stay
And even the waves won't carry me away
Keep heading west that's the best
May be lost but i'm not crazy
Stay where you are not too far
Keep it up you're doing fine
Well i thought i was fine
Me & Joseph lost at sea
Under rain and slowly waking
He looks around and smiles at me
41 and we're still waiting
I'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
I'm not hopeless but i think i'll stay
And even the waves won't carry me away
Last night hit the net
Woke up in a sweat
Same scene different dream sudden ending
Grabbed a pillow and covered my head
Kicked the phone off the side of the bed
Tried to sing but the damn thing kept on ringing
I know
I'll go to mexico
Someplace nothing changes
Maybe i'll call on the phone
Maybe i'll write you a letter
That's what i meant when i said goodbye
Backed the shovelhead out of the shed
Hit the interstate hard heading left
The street below is water flowing undertow
There's a song that i'd rather forget
But i don't think i've shaken it yet
As soon as i do
I'm gonna write us another one
I know
I'll go to mexico
Someplace nothing changes
Maybe i'll call on the phone
Maybe i'll write you a letter
That's what i meant when i said goodbye
I know
I'll go to mexico
Someplace nothing changes
Maybe i'll call on the phone
Maybe i'll write you a letter
Maybe i'll die maybe i'll learn how to fly
That's what i meant when i said
I was half outside and half inside a dream
When i thought i heard your voice on my machine
Sang along had the song almost memorized
Liked the track so i laid back and let it fossilize
(i've got all of this on video
It just gets better every episode)
America i was blind but now i see
America right there in front of me
Lost my head in my hotel room when the ground shook
Had to choose between the bible and the phone book
You're never home but that's okay
It's so much easier that way
'cause i can't tell it to your face in real time anyway
America i was blind but now i see
America right there in front of me
And it makes no sense to me
Unless i see it on t.v.
So just launch that satellite
And get it right
America i was blind but now i see
