Ultramarine

So many colours in my head
Ultramarine, extra fine and white lead
The London fog is falling down
On the bridges of Westminster and Waterloo
The London rain is falling down
Inside my head

The bell boy and the chambermaid
Found sheets of paper in the Savoy rooms

20 dollar bills
Basement
Wind blows
Write braille

With my left eye
Everything is red
With my right eye
Everything is blue

In my paradise with my fading eyes
I paint the waterlilies while the soldiers die

What a waste
What a waste
Let's roll out the red carpet for the skeleton army

What a waste
What a waste
Let's roll out the red carpet for the skeleton army

I don't see red anymore
I see blue
I remember very well how it was

So many colours in my head
Ultramarine, extra fine, white lead

What a waste
What a waste
