[Verse 1]

My friend blue he runs the show

With hot pink purple china glow

His family trees are molded

No longer grows in summer

He holds it closer lets it go

Picks a fruit but keeps it whole

Can't keep the submarining

Can't keep the light from fading

[Chorus]

Hope it's sooner. Hope it's near corporate records' fiscal year
