Scorpio Rising

I'm old enough to know
That my stars just won't let go
At this day and age I can see
That the world was meant for me

Some people laugh at what you're doing
They hold you in the sand
I'm having a hard time
Adjusting to these changes

I can see that your lips are moving
But I can't hear what you're saying
Is it yes or is it no?
Is it stop or is it go?
Is it suck or is it blow?
Oh, is it me or am I just too slow?

I'm young enough to think
That the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see
That ain't enough for me

Some people hear what you're doing
They pull you by the strings
I'm having trouble taking things
Day by day

When I see you, I see red and green
You're like the biggest tree I've ever seen
But it cuts you down
Oh, down to size
The apple of my eye
Is rotting underground

I see the future burning in their eyes
But I don't care what it's saying
Is it high or is it low?
Is it hide or is it show?
Is it shrink or is it grow?
Is it the twister? Ah-he-he-he-hey!

I wrote this song while I was eating beans
Now don't you try and ask me what that means
It's just like asking me to tell you my dreams
I would have told you long ago but now it seems

You're far away
Here come the loony bin
Come to take me away

You put a scar in my twisted face
In the yearbook I looked out of place
I see my letter burning in your hand
It took me twenty five years just to understand

Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my
Woah!
