COLORADO

JAN 19, 2020 // COLORADO (VERSION II, PROTOOLS DEMO)

The record needs a needle if it’s ever going to work
The pine tree needs a pine cone in the dirt beneath the earth
a picture’s worth a thousand words that no one’s ever heard
i’ll give you all three wishes if you make the first one hurt

the only girl i ever loved got lost in Colorado
while i watched until I dropped into an opera of diablos
underneath a bridge at the bottom of a bottle
after bottle after bottle got shattered on the rocks so
I jumped up fast and I ran like hell and I tripped and I fell and I cut myself
but I bounced back up and I turned and I yelled You’ll never catch me man can’t you tell

I am crazy I need help  but it won’t help me to sleep in a cell
i’ll just bob and weave through trees if you want to follow me go help yourself
the sun is slowly rising we all survived again

i’m sure tomorrow you can fend for yourself children
Somebody told me the same a long time ago
One day you’ll know / One day you’ll know

Sometimes I look in the mirror and all I see is an old man
looking back at a young man talking back to that old man
hoping to get stolen by the ghost in the house that broke in
I’m to old to scold man like I should be more open

I’ve never been to therapy like never ever happened
I don’t need to pay a stranger to make a map of that disaster
who’s got paper that they prayed for every day for satisfaction
you can take back all your tarot cards to magic class and ask them

if the light inside can leave you if the one that you love still needs you
when the night is dark and cold dear would you leave me all alone here
ever since you were just a baby i’d say baby don’t you let them break you   
all the pain you’ll ever face won’t take the one you give your faith to                                   

the sun is slowly rising we all survived again
i’m sure tomorrow you can fend for yourself children
somebody told me the same a long time ago
One day you’ll know / One day you’ll know
