lyrics

I don’t like the colour of the sky today
It’s not blue or red and it isn’t even grey
I can’t stand the taste of the coffee from my cup
I just wanna go to bed and never get up
I don’t like the colour of the sky today

I don’t like the colour of your eyes today
They’re not blue or green and they’re not even grey
They can’t see what’s staring them straight in the face
The truth has been erased, it’s such a terrible disgrace
I don’t like the colour of the sky today

I wanna paint it black and cover up the stars
I wanna hit the sack and bid you au revoir
I can’t act in this dark comedy
I wanna paint it black and drown in ebony

I don’t like the colour that I’m supposed to be
I can change myself and that’s true alchemy
Couldn’t stand the coffee so now I’m drinking tea
Nothing’s gonna stop me having my epiphany

I wanna paint it black and cover up the stars
I wanna hit the sack and bid you au revoir
I can’t act in this dark comedy
I wanna paint it black and drown in ebony
