The Crane Wives
New Colors
[Verse 1]
Orange, yellow, green
It's all the same to me
I've seen them all
A million times before

I have half a mind
To climb up in the sky
And steal new colors
Away from the sun

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this

Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this so damn bad

[Verse 2]
Folks 'round here are mean
Spit fire and gasoline
But all I want
Is solitude
I have half a mind
To climb up in the sky
And hide myself
Inside the moon

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this

Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this so damn bad

[Bridge]
I give up my sight
To see
I give up my air
To breathe

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this

Don't tell me that I can't
Oh Lord, don't tell me that I can't
I need this so damn bad
[Outro]
I give up my sight
To see
I give up my air
To breathe

I give up my sight
To see
I give up my air
To breathe

I give up my sight
To see
I give up my air
To breathe
