Colors Songtext
von Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

A black haired beauty with an overbite
And blue underwear in a red velvet chair
With white fuzzy slippers
A green beaded bracelet with a silver bell
And a purple tattoo of an angel and a devil
On his shoulder
Hazed eyes and a razor wit
And his golden voice makes the birds come sit by the window
And listen
Here it is

The greens are greener
And the blues are bluer
The reds are better
And the lights are brighter
In his arms


He's got an old brown hat with a little yellow leather
And suede jade boots as we walk together
Slowly down the road
Dark thoughts rise and dark thoughts fall
Kickin' and skippin' a chalk rock as we go
Here it is

The greens are greener
And the blues are bluer
The reds are better
And the lights are brighter
In his arms

He takes my hand and the neon band
Of the sunset cloud above us
Starts to shine orange gold
Darkness comes and darkness goes
We step over gasoline rainbows
Here it is

The greens are greener (green is my color)
And the blues are bluer (blue is my color)
The reds are better (red is his)
And the lights are brighter
In his arms
