I'll never fit in, so why should I try?
How'm I ever gonna pass for a normal guy?
I can't wear no suit and tie
Gotta let my freak flag fly
If I walk the straight and narrow
One more day, I think I'll die

Because I wanna live in a turquoise house
With turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

Now faith is a riddle and love is a dream
Things are seldom what they seem
If you say your prayers at night
And comb your hair just right
You might not feel like you're in hell
But then again you might

Because I wanna live in a turquoise house
With turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

I want turquoise carpets and turquoise shoes
Turquoise papers with all the turquoise news
Turquoise only---not teal or aquamarine
I've seen my future and it's a
Shade of blueish green

Now I can't turn back, there ain't no way
(he's going turquoise today)
When word gets out there'll be hell to pay
(He's going turquoise today)

This life's not for the faint
But you can't be what you ain't
I know I'll never truly be myself
Till I get me that turquoise paint..

Because I wanna live in a turquoise house
With turquoise garden and a turquoise yard
Drive around town in a turquoise car
Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
A turquoise girl with a turquoise heart
A turquoise girl in a turqouise dress
And a skirt and a shirt that's
Covering up her pretty little turquoise heart
