Colorblind Up Here
I’m living just next to a woman
I hardly know
And downstairs they don’t even know
I’m living up here
I’m listening to voices and noises
Through walls thin as tin
I never did see through their faces
Or where they have been
I think it’s a teacher
Whose name’s on the opposite door
And someone from Turkey is living
On the opposite floor
A man from Sri Lanka
Has just made his entry today
He told me his wife and his kids
Are not too far away
Chorus
I’m just pretending that life’s never ending
Up here, up here
I’m walking and talking and
Dreaming and screaming
Up here, up here
I’ve promised myself and
my friends
That I’m soon moving out
I’ve said it to I don’t know who
And I’ve said it quite loud
But honestly speaking,
I’m not being deeply sincere
In five years from know
I probably still live up here
Chorus
I’m just pretending that life’ s never ending
Up here, up here
I’m walking and talking and
Dreaming and screaming
Up here, up here
Just like a grumpy and lonely
Old zombie
Up here, up here
But we’re just pretending that life’s never ending
Up here, up here
Up here, up here
Up here, up here…
