Rose Colored Eyes - Moby Grape

Star’s eyes once gazed upon me here

Now fallen deep, oh, sound of dawn of fear

Empty smiles on youth today

That lessons teach has gone away, they say

Smiling people’s crooked toys walk by the store

Go ahead to the monkey clock

Said I, «What for?»

A horror sight when laughing too

And broken dreams

Are just as they are told to you

Tell me I’m wrong, I don’t care if I’m right

I’ll just groove along, spit in the sea

Tell me that’s it and I’ll ring your gong

The gift of breath is stolen each day

And someone prays the rains will come

And that’s today

Heartache, nothing but trouble

Haunts my every dream

Sadness, you’ve placed me

Inside of that which I have seen

Say, colored boy

(Yeah)

Get out of my town

(If it’s your town I’ll get out of it)

Long haired creep

(Swear to it)

Do your thing, straight cat

The gift of breath is stolen each day

That someone prays the rains will come

And that’s today
