Never felt too good about my life
looked like I'd end up on the scraphead with the other dogs of night
Insecure and dangerous
Never had the chances or the breaks that the other kids had
So you drag your life through the dust
But in you there was that glow - And a coat of indigo
Problems will come and go - In my coat of indigo

In the dark I wear my coat of many colours - In some way it covers where I'm from
So you drag your life through the dust - Across the red and gold sunset skies
My wishes always lead me beyond the confines of this life
So much to give

If I'd had a chance I would have burnt this place down
Why did the espectre of no hope choose our town?

But in you there was that glow and a coat of indigo
Problems will come and go in my coat of indigo

I've been trapped for most of my life in this airtight box
If I could get just one arm free, then the world would notice me

If I could get just one arm free, swim to the surface where I can breath
If I could get just one arm free, there's a chance that the world will notice me
If I could get just one arm free, there's a chance that the world will notice me
If I could get just one arm free, I could swim to the surface where I can breath

Everyday the alarm bell rings and I face another murder of a day
And I look out of my window and the sky is deathly grey
All the bleakness and the industry of the world groans as it starts another day
Its masters demand their pound of flesh... I cannot take this way
So I look to the safety of my subconscious where I wash away all my fear
And I will dive into a deep blue lagoon and swim away from here
