about

Written in January 2019 in Buffalo, NY.

lyrics

Green is the color
Of the paper we all pass
It lifts you up or holds you down
No matter how much you stack

No one knows the reason
There’s nothing you can say
Searching for the answer
To the puzzle along the way

One is the number
Of people you can trust
To seize the day in your own way
With not much to discuss

Five is the hour
The sunlight hits your hand
It feels so good you knew it would
Like playing in the band

Drop another night on the fire
The good times are burnin’ on
Pullin’ on a string to inspire
The one with the microphone

Surfin’ on the shadow of the backbeat
Carried by the clouds below
Feed another line to the heartbeat
And feel like a rolling stone
Before you know
And it’s on with the show…

Yellow is the flower
That reaches for the Sun
Raisin’ cain in the pouring rain
Just rolls right off her tongue

No one knows the reason
They wither one by one
You live and learn at every turn
These lessons when you’re young

Ringo is the Beatle
People love the least
John and Paul almost wrote em’ all
But George just can’t be beat

Breathless is the singer
Who gives it all his might
The song he penned for all his friends
Explodes like dynamite

Drop another night on the fire
The good times are burnin’ on
Pullin’ on a string to inspire
The one with the microphone

Surfin’ on the shadow of the backbeat
Carried by the clouds below
Feed another line to your heartbeat
And feel like a rolling stone
Before you know
And it’s on with the show...
