Never felt too good about my life Looked like I'd end up on the scrapheap with the Other dogs of the night Insecure and dangerous Never had the chances or the breaks that The other kids had So you drag your life through the dust
But in you, there was that glow And a coat of Indigo Problems will come and go In my coat of Indigo
In the dark, I wear my coat of many colours In some ways, it covers where I'm from So you drag your life through the dust Across the red and gold sunset skies My wishes always lead me beyond The confines of this life So much to give If I had the chance, I would've burnt this place down Why did the spectre of no hope choose our town
But in you, there was that glow And a coat of Indigo Problems will come and go In my coat of Indigo
I've been trapped for most of my life In this airtight box If I could get just one arm free Then the world will notice me If I could get just one arm free I could swim to surface where I can breathe
Every day, the alarm bell rings And I face another murder of a day I look out my window The sky is deathly grey All the weakness and industry of the world groans as it starts another day
It's masters demand a pound of flesh I cannot take it this way So I look to the safety of my subconscious Where I wash away all my fear And dive into a deep blue lagoon Swim away from here
