[Verse 1]
A new world hangs
Outside the window
Beautiful and strange
It must be I've fallen awake
I must be

[Chorus]
Sound and color
With me, for my mind
And the ship shows me where to go
When I needn't speak

[Bridge]
Not far now
Not far now
Not far now
Far, far now
Far, far, far, far now
Far, far, far, far out

[Outro]
Sound and color
With me, in my mind
(Sound and color)
Try to keep yourself awake
(Sound and color)
This life ain't like it was
(Sound and color)
I wanna touch a human being
(Sound and color)
I want to go back to sleep
(Sound and color)
Ain't life just awful strange?
(Sound and color)
I wish I never gave it all away
(Sound and color)
No more to see the setting of the sun
(Sound and color)
Life in
(Sound and color)
Life in
(Sound and color)
Life in
(Sound and color)
(Sound and color)
(Sound and color)
