Intro
Multicolored faces, and red hands and blue hands
Grasp at the shapes in his mind
Blackbirds and bluebirds are resting on his shoulder
Waiting for their moment to fly
Multicolored feathers against the sky
Silver shadows spread over the landscape
Draped over the background as a veil
And were getting drunk while we look into sunrise
-- mute
Singing songs of men who had it all but died in jail
Whatever forever
We keep our heads up high Our voices strong
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever
The ways of the world, where I belong
We got lost in the middle of the desert
We prayed for a little luck, we came out smiling
We looked up above we saw the black and blue birds flying
The colors against the sky
And I know one day theyll die
Cause I know one day youll die
Cause even multicolored angels die
But whatever forever
We keep our head up high
But whatever forever
We keep our head up high
