Not entirely crazy though a teensy bit insane outside in the daylight, my mind runs as clear as rain. I took the test they gave me to find a compatible fellow Roses are red, Violets are blue, but my heart is screaming yellow. I bottled up my beeswax, showered off the gloom hello fresh air and sunshine, come pouring through my room. Started talking to a stranger, not the average Joe wait until I meet him, the only way to know. Yarrow is a color, I heard the Asian mutter held the petals 'neath my chin to see if I like butter. An over-ripe banana, brown speckled, getting soft waitin' for his perfect match, the others he has scoffed. Not easily misguided, he won't buy into hype Perfect match confided, he's not the risky type. Yellow is not fade proof, it washes out in time hang your heart out here to dry, wind blows it off the line. Whatever is the point here, of how she done you wrong your history's no matter to me, it's always the same old song No longer scared, just waiting, been down around the block I've hopscotched all these sidewalks, know the cracks and saved my chalk Today I am feeling ready, tomorrow I'm bleeding blue orange you glad I'm yellow, a bright and crazy hue? I don't need no internet, or men to entertain just read my lips and bring some chips I'll meet you at the train.... Just read my chin and hold the gin I'll meet you at the train! read my mail and go to jail I'll meet you at the train! read my book and take a look I'll meet you at the train! leave your momma and hold that comma I'll meet you at the train! and if by chance you like to dance I'll meet you at the train.

Screamin' Yellow
Not entirely crazy though a teensy bit insane outside in the daylight, my mind runs as clear as rain.

Started talking to a stranger, not the average Joe wait until I meet him, the only way to know. Yarrow is a color, I heard the Asian mutter held the petals 'neath my chin to see if I like butter.
