nothing but a mudpie

wrapped up inside with a pretty bow

nothing but a castle build on top of a swamp of quicksand

and inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows

lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life



you thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty

you though you'd tell yourself to act like royalty

until the day you became his prey

as you tripped over your incumbent

you wash your hair in melaleuca oil

then you wrap your head up with tin foil and

prance around in your bathrobe

pretending you're a king



but you're spinning hard

sinking faster now



well you can follow your rainbows

and I will follow the sun now

wherever he goes it's

not too far to run

so I will follow the sun

follow the sun



nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23 years old

nothing but a for sale sign on a house that's already sold

trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire

cause they're among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side



but you're spinning hard

sinking faster now



well you can follow your rainbows

and I will follow the sun now

wherever he goes it's

not too far to run

so I will follow the sun

follow the sun

follow the sun

follow the sun



clever lives end up rusty and forgotten

brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's

what I thought was so deep ended up so hollow

and what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow



yeah you can follow your rainbows

and I will follow the sun now

wherever he goes it's

not too far to run

so I will follow the sun



yeah you can follow your rainbows

and I will follow the sun now

wherever he goes it's

not too far to run

so I will follow the sun
