Hear the world, the world is blue Colorshot through and through Hear the birds ring around, they make the color sound Singing out a mystery, without home or history While they fly down the sky, confessing it on high Over every country Over every highway Over every compton And every sea Daddy died when I was a child How could I know a mercy mile? But mama tried, she told me when I cried To sail it like a victory, ready about heartily Teardrops would hollow me out, a tunnel leading To another country Down another highway Through another compton Into a sea Of smiling faces Rolling hips and races Everybody dancing Confessing blues Another country Another highway Another compton Another sea Of smiling faces Nobody waiting Everybody dancing Into the blue
