Chartreuse Lyrics by Capital Cities

In a Tidal Wave of Mystery

2013

[Verse 1]
We painted our faces
We were a resting place for the light
I must admit an arresting sight
We looked all right
But now it's just traces
As we fade in black and white
We put makeup on with no light
We're too uptight (Too uptight, we're too uptight, uptight)

[Chorus]
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down

[Verse 2]
To show my true colors
I must first be exposed to the light
I trust first and secondly, fight
With all my might
I've blown my cover
In plain view, I'm as plain as you
But you can't deny my hues
Red, blue, chartreuse

[Chorus]
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
