XTC Wrapped in Grey Lyrics

s
Some folks see the world as a stone
su su#
Con crete daubed in dull mono tone
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints
How coloured the flowers all smelled
As they huddled there, in petalled prayer
us/
They told me this, as I knelt there
Awaken you dreamers, adrift in your beds
Balloons and streamers decorate the inside of your heads
Please let some out, Do it today
But don't let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey
us/
Some folks pull this life like a weight
Drab and dragging dreams made of slate
Your heart is the big box of paints
And others, the canvas we're dealt
Your heart is the big box of paints?
?Just think how the old masters felt! They called?
Awaken you dreamers, asleep at your desks
Parrots and lemurs, populate your unconscious grotesques
Please let some out, Do it today,
Don't let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey
And in the very least you can stand up naked and grin!
