Rheinhardt & Geraldine/Colores Para Dolores
[Lyrics to "Rheinhardt & Geraldine"]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
There's nothing new around the sun
Everything you think of has been done
All been done before your time
Sometime or another by someone and his brother, yeah yeah
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
From the poison comes a flower
Butterfly for just an hour
But it burns ecstatic fire
The kind of life we all desire
Desire! Fire!
[Instrumental]
[Lyrics to "Colores Para Dolores"]
[Verse 1]
White is the color of night when there's nobody there
And you sit in your chair and get drunk on despair
[Verse 2]
Red is the color, it's said, that can drive you insane
With pleasure or pain, it depends on your head
[Verse 3]
Brown is the color of skin that I'd like to be in
As it doesn't seem right to be colored so white
[Verse 4]
Blue is the color of sky, and I won't even try
To explain how or why I could show you the sky
Just show you the sky
