Bottle green and cherry red
Swirling colour in my head
Sunshine yellow sky blue
I live my life in every hue

Dove grey diamond white
Reality begins to bite
Inky black and milky cream
I think I prefer to dream

Vermilion and indigo
No place left for me to go
What sort of colour is cyan
I don’t know how this began

Amethyst and violet
Colour me so I forget
Purple of the lilac tree
Trapped in magenta misery

All this living makes me ill
Pass me another little pill
Rainbow world of medicine
Shuts me up and locks me in
