It must be the colors And the kids That keep me alive 'cause the music is boring me to death It must just be the colors And the kids that keep me alive 'cause I'd wanna go right away To a january night I built a shack with an old friend He was someone I could learn from Someone I could become Will you meet me down On a sandy beach We can roll up our jeans So the tide won't get us below the knees Yellow hair You are a funny bear Yellow hair You are such a funny bear Slender fingers Would hold me slender limbs would hold me And you could say my name Like you knew my name I could stay here Become someone different I could stay here Become someone better It's so hard to go in the city 'cause you wanna say hello to everybody It's so hard to go into the city 'cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky Now all we wanna do is go to red places And try to stay outta hell It must be the colors And the kids That keep me alive 'cause the music is boring me to death It must just be the colors And it must just be the kids That keep me alive on this january night. Yellow hair You are a funny bear Yellow hair You are such a funny bear
