Technicolor Dreaming

Ever since I was a kid I've been a river, a drifter You found me all alone You sewed me up With tethers of your love We barreled through the fog In a golden sedan With your hand on my hand Slept in your parent's bed Free of the weight we had escaped Greens, golden browns Ruby reds I'm drowning in Am I just Am I just Technicolor dreaming? I learned everything I know From watching movies Why can't my life Have a Hollywood ending? I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Youthfull thoughts of a life That's deceived me I learned everything I know From watching movies The projectors always Made it look so easy I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Young and foolish I was technicolor dreaming Young and foolish Was technicolor dreaming I've danced this dance before The pill bottle tops That never stay locked My bones are tired and old They wither away I'm sick of feeling this pain Somewhere out there Another life awaits Am I technicolor dreaming? I learned everything I know From watching movies Why can't my life Have a Hollywood ending? I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Youthfull thoughts of a life That's deceived me I learned everything I know From watching movies The projectors always Made it look so easy I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Young and foolish I was technicolor dreaming Everything I touch It turns to gray Maybe if I just Burn it to the ground Let the earth take me Let the ash remake me Maybe if I stop All this make-believe I can finally rest in peace I learned everything I know From watching movies Why can't my life Have a Hollywood ending? I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Youthfull thoughts that lied to me I learned everything I know From watching movies The projectors always Made it look so easy I'm a fictional perfection Can't you see me? Young and foolish I was technicolor dreaming
