Lyrics

CRAYONS

EVERYBODY GRAB A CRAYON IT'S TIME TO COLOR UP THIS TOWN
ELECTRIC BLUE WILL LOOK GOOD IN THE SKY
BURNED ORANGE FACE IS ON THE SUN AND JUNGLE GREEN GRASS SURE LOOKS FUN
WITH LEMON LIME AND PINK BIRDS FLYING HIGH

THEY LIVE IN THE SAME OLD BOX AND SHARE A NAME
AND YET THEY'RE WORLDS APART
BUT WHEN YOU MIX THEM ALL TOGETHER THEY BECOME A WORK OF ART

CHORUS:
RED AND YELLOW BLUE AND GREEN
AND EVERY COLOR IN BETWEEN
THEY PAINT A PICTURE COLORFUL AND BRIGHT
WHEN YOU TAKE THEM ALL AWAY
BLACK AND WHITE AND SHADES OF GREY
ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW TELL ME IS THIS RIGHT?

CLAIRE HAS HAIR AS WHITE AS SNOW AND RODNEYS SPORTING HIS CORNROWS
HER SKIN IS PALE AND HIS AS DARK AS NIGHT
SHOWBIZ LIFE IT WAS THEIR THING AND SHE WOULD DANCE AS HE WOULD SING
THEY FELL IN LOVE DESPITE AN UPHILL FIGHT

THEY WITHSTOOD THE RACIAL GLARES
AND SHAKING HEADS AND GLACIAL STARES SO VILE
NOW A UNIQUE BLEND OF BOTH OF THEM RESULTED IN A PERFECT CHILD

REPEAT CHORUS

ORANGE IS A MIXTURE OF SOME YELLOW AND RED
ADD ROSE TO BLACK AND GREY YOU SEE THAT BROWN STARTS TO SPREAD
PURPLE COMES ALIVE WHEN SHARING RED AND SOME BLUE
HOW LIGHT OR DARK DEPENDS UPON THE WARMTH OF ITS HUE

LIKE A STRING QUARTET WITHOUT ITS BASS FROM ITS CELLO
GREEN CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT ITS BLUE AND ITS YELLOW
ONE MORE NOTE THAT MAYBE THEY'RE SURPRISED WHEN THEY FIND THAT
WHITE IS A MIX OF ALL COLORS COMBINED

BUT WHEN YOU MIX THEM ALL TOGETHER THEY BECOME A WORK OF ART

CHORUS BREAKDOWN
CHORUS REPEAT

EVERYBODY GRAB A CRAYON IT'S TIME TO COLOR UP THIS TOWN
ELECTRIC BLUE WILL LOOK GOOD IN THE SKY
BURNED ORANGE FACE IS ON THE SUN AND JUNGLE GREEN GRASS SURE LOOKS FUN
WITH LEMON LIME AND PINK BIRDS FLYING HIGH
