I'm old enough to know
That my stars just won't let go
At this day and age I can see
That the world was meant for me

Some people laugh at what you're doin'
They hold you in the sand
I'm havin' a hard time
Adjustin' to these changes

I can see that you lips are movin'
But I can't hear what you're sayin'

Is it yes or is it no
It is stop or is it go
Is it suck or is it throw
Oh, is it me or am I just too slow

I'm young enough to think
That the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see
That ain't enough for me

Some people hear what you're doin'
They pull you by the strings
I'm havin' trouble
Takin' things day by day

When I see you, I see red and green
You're like the biggest tree I've ever seen
But it cuts you down, oh, down to size
The apple of my eye is rotting underground

I see the future burning in their eyes
But I don't care what it's sayin'

Is it high or is it low
Is it hide or is it show
Is it shrink or is it grow
Is it the twister, a-he-he-he-hey

I wrote this song while I was eating beans
Now don't you try and ask me what that means
It's just like asking me to tell you my dreams
I would have told you long ago but now it seems

You're far away
Here come the loony bin
Come to take me away

You put a scar in my twisted face
In the yearbook, I look out of place
I see my letter burnin' in you hand
It took me 25 years just to understand

Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my, woh
