You want to please so you say yes
You want it easy, you want it fast
You’re just the sum of all you’ve accepted

You wanted east, they made you go west
You’re on your knees but you think you’re blessed
You’re just the sum of all you’ve accepted

And all of your colours turn to grey
I’m watching all of your colours turn to grey

How do you deal with your success
When you feel you’re in somebody else’s shoes
Silk sheets, king size bed
You can’t sleep, you’re losing your head
You’re just the sum of all you’ve accepted

And all of your colours turn to grey
I’m watching all of your colours turn to grey
And all of your colours turn to grey
I’m watching all of your colours turn to grey

So tell me now, are you satisfied with yourself
I don’t believe you, you don’t believe yourself
So tell me now, are you satisfied with yourself
I don’t believe you, you’re an artist don’t forget

And all of your colours turn to grey
Your dream way over Yonder fades away
