Colors and the Kids Songtext
von Cat Power

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
′Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I wanna go ride away
To a January night
Built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become

Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach?
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won′t get us below the knees

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear


Slender fingers would hold me
Slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name

I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It′s so hard to go into the city
′Cause you wanna say, "Hey, I love you" to everybody

When we were teenagers
We wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is, go to red places
And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night


Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
