tomorrow will be purple

tomorrow the world will be purple
and all of us will be green
and we’ll all dance around
in circles and squares
and pink triangles

Oh right, that’s not normal.

the next day we’ll all love each other
and run around holding hands
we’ll call each other the beautiful people
that we are,
and celebrate

Oh right, that’s not normal.

the day after that we’ll all sing
and laugh and grin and fly
we’ll wear our hearts on our faces
and our colours in our voices
and love life

Oh right, that’s not normal.

soon the world will be empty
the telephone lines will be dead
all those pants and shirt sleeves will be empty
every road, every heart will be empty
because we’re green and the world
should be purple.
