The Ordinary Boys – Dreaming In Colour lyrics

Is there nothing we can say to you
To make you change your mind
I said time after time
That you'll be sorry

As you're climbing over lifeless limbs
And tightening your tie
It's so tight you nearly died
Ha! you'll be sorry

See your dreams well they turn into you
By old regretful lies
They say it's for the best for you
Well planning your demise
They never even tried

Stop dragging on cold tales,
Stop living in shadows
Stop dreaming in colour, uh-oh
Don't prey on the hopeless
To climb up the ladder
In love with the loveless
Stop dreaming in colour

Retirement plans at 21
And you never have to queue
But the life that's left in you
Is turning sour
Well money cannot buy you love
But it buys the next best thing
And so by just fitting in
You're turning sour.

See your dreams well they turn into you
By old regretful lies
They say it's for the best for you
Well planning your demise
They never even tried

Stop dragging on cold tales,
Stop living in shadows
Stop dreaming in colour, uh-oh
Don't prey on the hopeless
To climb up the ladder
In love with the loveless
Stop dreaming in colour

You let the lid wither away
And chose the path you'd tread
But when that life caught up with you
It put a bullet in your head
And now you're fucking dead (dead, dead, dead)!
