Lyrics

Dye dye dye
That's what I do
dye dye dye
I turn it blue
Dye dye dye
I turn it red
Dye dye dye
Or green instead

I have a curse
It's in my hands
I hold a thing
For longer than
A minute more
And think real strong
And focus on
A color long
It changes them
It changes them
It changes them
A color change
It's undergone

It's started when I was only 2
My favorite color then was navy blue
My mother noticed that my toys all changed
My sheets and pillowcases were the same
It wasn't real intense
The edges had a sense
Of blueishness and hence
A tiny dark blue fence

Dye dye dye
It's like a dream
Dye dye dye
I turn it green
Dye dye dye
I turn it blue
Dye dye dye
It's what I do

It's getting worse
As time goes by
I wear my gloves
A tell white lies
When people ask
Me why the mitts
The stories change
I won't admit
It changes things
It changes things
It changes things
A different hue
Comes over it

My friends all think that I'm a weird freak
They're curious about my technique
My girlfriend laughs when they question her
Her purple eyes, when did they occur?
Her rainbow hair is strange
It always stays the same
It's never ever changed
They think I am to blame

Dye dye dye
Please keep it quiet
Dye dye dye
I turned it violet
Dye dye dye
I turned it pink
Dye dye dye
It's what I think

The other day
I took a walk
And did some things
I shouldn't ought
There's orange trees
And yellow squirrels
Magenta leaves
Around me swirl
I changed these things
I changed these things
I changed these things
This power I have
Over my world

Dye dye dye
I changed these things
Dye dye dye
I changed these things
I have a power
To color my world
I have a power
To color the world
Dye
Dye
Dye

Dye
Dye
Dye
