Ah you're so calico
You're all the colours in the world
You're not a curious young girl
I always beg of you
Do I know as much as you're going to
You're so rebelled up in curls
Now with this nothing's sacred
Everyone is telling everyone everything
She just watches from a hill
On the periphery
This tempts a certain part of me
To wander unfulfilled
Well, all these things I carry
They're not so necessary
All that's solitary
Well it's just not necessary
In a purple mind a dream
You keeping peeling back at what it really means
This beauty's too small to be true
It's all so calico
It's all the colours of the world unravelling in you
And all these things I carry
They're not so unnecessary
Well all that's solitary
Well it's quite necessary
Well I can get so wary
It's just not necessary
Well all these things I carry
Well they're just not necessary
Well all these things I carry
Well they're just not necessary
Well I can get so wary
It's just not necessary
