G#
He's old like the raspberry cold
F#
Coming in the window
      G#
His gloom room
                 F#
Flowers blooming out like armadillos

He looks to the left at the yellow lines
Moving with the traffic
His veins have turned to plastic blinds

He was new like the violet dew
Water looking at him through
The telescopic mountain view
Where the stars were still laughing

He lept into the northern sky
Filled his lungs with peach pie
Never even wondered why

Chorus:
A#
Go with the yellow light
      A#7
Your mind is a dandelion
     F
The weight of your crooked spine
                 Gm
Is returning to snow
      D#                         A#
And though you are mostly now machines
                    C#
Not electrical in dreams you're a rose

He's old like the raspberry cold
Coming in the window
His gloom room
Flowers then blooming out like armadillos
He walks with the owls in the yellow moon
Walks like a river lapping
His blood is thick and tacking

He was new like the violet dew
Water looking at him through
The telescopic mountain view
The stars were still laughing

He lept into the northern sky
Filled his lungs with peach pie
Never even wondered why

Chorus

He looks to the left
He looks to the left
He looks to the left
He looks to the left
