*if everything is anything and life is only what you bring then i love you, and there's karma too
we take our time to look around and find, the pretty things are underground and i love you, and there's karma too*
we were locked like a couple of lazy lions in a zoo
hiding behind bars of hazy half truths
we painted pink and blue above a shady avenue
and spun around the sun in one amazing afternoon
we step outside and suffer the same old waves of attitude
they say we're not alike enough to play love games with different hues
they whisper words that have a certain way of tainting the view
the pompous preach while we reach for the rays of silver grays and something new
what they say to you could never change my point of view
forever, i'll always be around
and there's a battle too, remember all we have to do
is never let them underground
