Salopette
We Singing Colors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And start to remember the flowers in the prints
Which painter made the bicycles hanging on the wall
On my grandma's carpet beside the kitchen door
Dumbo elephant on the cardboard red book
The trip that made me a pioneer, all the pictures I took
One of these days I'll fall in love again with the past
How hot it felt wearing ski salopette in summer time
You think I'm gonna change but I'm pretty sure I'm not
One of these days I'll shake my calendar to that day
When it was all black and white as a communist TV frame
As the moon through a gloomy bottom of a bottle
Black cavity avalanched by her winter white teeth
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
As the moon through a gloomy bottom of a bottle
Black cavity avalanched by her winter white teeth
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
Do you have this feeling I got?
