Rose Colored Eyes (R. Mosley)


1. Star's eyes once gazed upon me here
Now fallen deep, oh, sound of dawn of fear
Empty smiles on youth today
That lessons teach has gone away, they say

2. Smiling people's crooked toys walk by the store
Go ahead to the monkey clock, said I, "What for?"
A horror sight when laughing too
And broken dreams are just as they are told to you

3. Tell me I'm wrong, I don't care if I'm right, I'll just groove along
Spit in the sea, tell me that's it and I'll ring your gong
The gift of breath is stolen each day
And someone prays the rains will come and that's today

- Heartache, nothing but trouble haunts my every dream
Sadness, you've placed me inside of that which I have seen

(Spoken:) Say, colored boy. (Yeah?)
Get out of my town. (If it's your town, I'll get out of it!)
Long haired creep! (Swear to it.) Do your thing, stray cat.

The gift of breath is stolen each day
That someone prays the rains will come and that's today
