The absent minded ramblings of a recovering alcoholic contemplating a colorful suicide .

The grey stone stands alone in an endless sea of green

Hidden in the shadows of a dream

Carving out a spirit in skin and bone

The grey stone stands alone .


See the blue sky out of the window

See the blueberry pie on the windowsill

See the red eye over the rainbow

See the red river rise from over the hill .


Put the green fields back on the outside

Put the gooseberry bush on a laxative pill

Put the yellow line back on the roadside

Put the yellow man back in the time capsule .


See the lemonade out of my good eye

See the lemon head out on the windowsill

Feel your heart beating time for the fall guy

Feel your mouth dry out as the time stands still .


Put the waves back into the oceans

Put the rain back into the clouds on the hill

Put the magic spells back in their potions

Put the future on hold as the time stands still .


The grey stone stands alone in an endless sea of green

Hidden in the shadows of a dream

Carving up a spirit in skin and bone

The grey stone stands alone .
