Rose Colored Eyes

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
