Rameses, colossus. rameses, colossus
Rameses, colossus. rameses, colossus
Yeah.

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go
Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go

Do you know that hue of my new blue jeans?
Can you judge the mood of the preteens?
Shrink my dreams to fit me with those laser beams.
To roll with rollerina is never quite as it seems.

Rameses. colossus. rameses. colossus
Rameses, colossus. rameses, colossus.

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go o o o
Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go o o o

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go
Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go

You only want to be in a garage band.
You know you want to give the gong a bang.
But nothing ever works out as you planned.
You only ever seem to can the canned.

You only want to be in a garage band.
You know you want to give the gong a bang.
But nothing ever works out as you planned.
You only ever seem to can the canned.

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go

Indigo here we go

Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go
Indigo here we go.
Indigo here we go

You're mixing with felons man.
Pull out the stops.

@bravosierra2447

Heady days of early 2000s i was on the dance floor & the DJ mixed this into his set, blew my mind right there.

@marchcomposer2257

I think she was just about decade early. She would rock top charts everywhere, but the time has gone.

@lateshiachilds3640

I truly agree she would definitely fit in with Indie music of today.
