BEIGE-COLORED
WORLD
KEVIN SOUCIE
I've never called you, "Baby"
But Baby, it's time to change
I've been sending you a signal
But you moved way out of range
Your impression of me in this place was finally unfurled
You're disillusioned in my dirty little beige-colored world
Fungus growing in the bathroom
Water dripping from the pipes
My suits are all earth colors
And my shirts have horizontal stripes
Dragged out from some dark hole into which they've been hurled
That's how it is in my dirty little beige-colored world
For you I tried to be a little different
Not at all like the others
I thought that I was Leonard Cohen
But to you, I was Dicky Smothers
That fetal position into which you have curled
Won't help you cope with life in my dirty little beige-colored world
So welcome, welcome to my dirty little beige-colored world
That's life with me in my dirty little beige-colored world
