All this time you told me that the cotton candy was pink So I ate at the fluff behind the drywall I ate it all away Wondering why I got colder as I did so Do you know why the peacocks are always alone I’ve never seen more than one at a time And I suppose it is because they show all of their colors at once That isn’t allowed in this game, is it I thought not I don’t want to have that kind of plumage anymore Turn my skin gray and wrinkled and I will sit by like the elephant in the room Because I never asked you questions you didn’t like I never asked you to empty the sky into a pitcher just for me Do you know why the peacocks walk all alone? Curious, isn’t it? No friends at all.

speaking of you
All this time you told me that the cotton candy was pink So I ate at the fluff behind the drywall I ate it all away Wondering why I got colder as I did so Do you know why the peacocks are always alone I’ve never seen more than one at a time And I suppose it is because they show all of their colors at once That isn’t allowed in this game, is it I thought not I don’t want to have that kind of plumage anymore Turn my skin gray and wrinkled and I will sit by like the elephant in the room Because I never asked you questions you didn’t like I never asked you to empty the sky into a pitcher just for me Do you know why the peacocks walk all alone? Curious, isn’t it? No friends at all.
