Tip toe, stay low, or else the cops will have you locked away and
If so, if so, you'll never live to see the day when
Life imitates art; everyone grabs a can and starts to
Stand up, stand up
And you're blue cause you can't let
go, blue cause you can't let go, no, no
Plagued with question marks cause 'certain' isn't in your lingo
Love is a broken heart; I suppose you saw red from the start
It sparked a work of art because
You define the true limits of your mind
It feels like you're late but you're just in time
Who's to say that the world's black and white
Spread colour through these streets, don't sleep at night
No light's a green light; let your stream of ideas out at night
The city's a canvas on which symbols speak louder than us
An artist is trapped inside with an insatiable appetite telling you to
Stand up, stand up
And you're blue cause you can't let
go, blue cause you can't let go, no, no
Plagued with question marks cause 'certain' isn't in your lingo
Love is a broken heart; I suppose you saw red from the start
It sparked a work of art because
You define the true limits of your mind
It feels like you're late but you're just in time
Who's to say that the world's black and white
Spread colour through these streets, don't sleep at night
And all these colours empower us,
give us strength till the earliest hours
With eyes open wide
But this graffiti is fleeting, defeating its purpose;
What's keeping us breathing's the passion that's inside
You define the true limits of your mind
It feels like you're late but you're just in time
Who's to say that the world's black and white
Spread colour through these streets, don't sleep at night
