Never felt too good about my life Looked like I'd end up on the scraphead with the other dogs of night Insecure and dangerous Never had the chances or the breaks that the other kids had So you drag your life through the dust But in you there was that glow - And a coat of indigo Problems will come and go - In my coat of indigo
In the dark I wear my coat of many colours - In some way it covers where I'm from So you drag your life through the dust - Across the red and gold sunset Skies My wishes always lead me beyond the confines of this life So much to give
If I'd had a chance I would have burnt this place down Why did the espectre of no hope choose our town?
But in you there was that glow - And a coat of indigo Problems will come and go - In my coat of indigo
I've been trapped for most of my life in this airtight box
If I could get just one arm free - Then the world would notice me
If I could get just one arm free - Swim to the surface where I can breath If I could get just one arm free - There's a chance that the world will Notice me If I could get just one arm free - There's a chance that the world will Notice me If I could get just one arm free - I could swim to the surface where I can Breath
Everyday the alarm bell rings - And I face another murder of a day And I look out of my window - And the sky is deathly grey All the bleakness and the industry of the world groans as it starts another Day It's masters demand their pound of flesh - I cannot take this way So I look to the safety of my subconscious - Where I wash away all my fear And I will dive into a deep blue lagoon - And swim away from here
