Scorpio Rising

I'm old enough to know
That my stars just won't let go
At this day and age
I can see that the world
Was meant for me

Some people laugh
At what you're doing
They hold you in the sand
I'm having a hard time
Adjusting to these changes

I can see that your lips
Are moving but I can't hear
What you're saying
Is it yes or is it no?
Is it stop or is it go?
Is it suck or is it throw?
Or is it me or am I just too slow?

I'm young enough to think
That the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see
That ain't enough for me
Some people hear
What you're doing
They pull you by the strings
I'm having trouble taking things
Day by day

When I see you
I see red and green
You're like the biggest tree
I've ever seen
But it cuts you down
All down to size
The apple of my eye
Is rotting on the ground

I see the future burning
In their eyes but I don't care
What it's saying
Is it high or is it low?
Is it hide or is it show?
Is it shrink or is it grow?
Is it the twister? Ah-he-he-he-hey

I wrote this song
While was eating beans
Now don't you try and ask me
What that means
It's just like asking me
To tell you my dreams
I would have told you long ago
But now it seems
You're far away
Here come the loony bin
Come to take me away

You put a scar
In my twisted face
In the yearbook
I looked out of place
I see my letter burning
In your hand
It took me 25 years
Just to understand

Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my
Wow!
