I am a man, man, man, man Up, up in the air And I run around, round, round, round this down town and act like I don't care. So when you see me flying by the planet's moon, You don't need to explain if everything's changed Just know I'm just like you. Huh. Ha. Huh. Ha. Huh. Ha. Huh. Ha. So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head. And I see black, black, green, and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red. And suddenly a light appears inside my brain And I think of my ways, I think of my days and know that I have changed. It's the colors you have No need to be sad. It really ain't that bad. It's the colors you have No need to be sad. You've still got your hand So Mistress, Mistress have you been up to the roof? He shot himself, self There's blood on the wall 'Cause he couldn't face the truth. Oh, knock that down, leave the ground and find some space And tell your friends, friends, You'll be back again, gain Before it's too late. It's the colors you have No need to be sad. It really ain't that bad. Oh, It's the colors you have No need to be sad. It really ain't that bad It's the colors you have No need to be sad. You've still got your hand So I am a man, man, man, man Up, up in the air And I float around, 'round, 'round this downtown And know I shouldn't care. So when you see us there out in the open road You don't need to explain If everything's changed Just know that you don't know. We call it... (Life) Oh yeah, that's what we call it. We can't call it at all. We call it... (Life) Oh yeah, that's what we call it. When you can't call it at all. Yeah, We call it (Life) Oh yeah that's what we call it. (Oh) We do it for... (sweet love)
