about

A love song for all those who I spent time with in Boston and how the guise of the city (in how it adds color) can mask problems between people.

lyrics

Incantatious so vivacious the realest thing I know
Shoulders tight, its alright, its time to go
Feeling alright tap your feet my sweet one
Take your hair and tie it into a bun

Running down to the red like track
Muddy Ruddy with a lake on your back
Spinning albums in bed at three
You’d never know you’re so important to me

Hey, youre my technicolor dream

Take it slow, the realest thing I could ever know
Je pense que je peux dire que tu es,
mon amour, ma copain, ma cheré.

Whailing sighing, daylights dying and the
Boys reading catcher saying someday he’ll fetch her
But its recolored, its recolored, technicolor dreaming
I know I love her but the lens is quite decieving
Hey, Id love to be driven insane by you.
