Colors are what 
Keep me alive 
Colors are what 
To hold in my head 

Colors are where my 
My old meets new 
Colors are where my 
My brain finds blue 

Colors and colors and colors of colors 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 

Bursts are where 
I find a face 
Bursts are made 
To color me rich 
Bursts are blocks 
Stickle bricks 
Bursts of color 
Until I'm sick 

Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(I only wanted for to see) 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(There's nothing in this heart but me) 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(Everything you want is not free) 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 

Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(I'm everything a girl could need) 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(there's nothing in this heart but me) 
Colors and colors and colors of colors 
(If everything you want is free)
