the show is over - close the storybook
will be no encore
and all the random hands that i have shook
well, they're reaching for the door
i watch the backs as they leave single-file
you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
i know i can be colorful
i know i can be grey
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way
most were being good for goodness sake
but you wouldn't have to mind
you are more beautiful when you awake
than most are in a lifetime
through the haze that is my memory
you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
i know i can be colorful
i know i can be grey
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way
look ahead as far as you can see
we live in drama but we die in a comedy
i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)
i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way
