Silver apples – rolling down the street
Yellow magic – on the corner where we meet
I’ve had a vision – Blue oysters on the green
& there’s no return - Once you have seen
The Shocking Pinks dancing with Bobby Brown

Segregation & Monochromatic schemes
Give way to saturation. I’ve got monkeys in my dreams
Reaching up to pull rainbows to the ground

Colors [bad word] down – Colors [bad word] down
Listen up high and low – I hear it all around   
Colors [bad word] down – Colors [bad word] down
Listen up near and far – I hear it all around   
Colors [bad word] down 

The Color Purple is pumping through my veins
I’ll know my king by a histography of his brain
Any fool with a head can wear a crown

Things are going to happen, that you never thought could be
Look through this hole and who knows what you’ll see?
Black Francis making love to the white clown

Colors [bad word] down – Colors [bad word] down
Listen up high and low – I hear it all around 
Colors [bad word] down – Colors [bad word] down
Listen up near and far – I hear it all around
Colors [bad word] down!

Colors [bad word] down – Colors [bad word] down
I’ve seen it high and low – I hear it all around   
I’ve seen it near and far – I hear it all around
Colors [bad word] down
