Sliding Down the Rainbow
Stop your talking!
someone said............
"the elevator's turning red!"
I feel the pressure in my head,
F
O
R
G
E
T
the things you tried to say,
the night is dark,
the moon is gray,
the colors melted all away,
I scooped them up and licked them down
red and yellow,green and brown
I live to be the shades I found,
inside.........
I am dark no more
look inside the open door
of my lips and taste and see
what a rainbow love can be.
