Song Description

Alternating major/minor chords and a circus motif play in this ostensibly upbeat pop song, ironically exploring of the joys of prozac.

Lyrics

RAINBOW

I used to dream in blacks and indigos
Like a murder of crows
In Van Gogh?s dark horizons

Used to be a grey sky girl
In a grey sky world
Where the flood was always rising

But I found my yellow-brick-road
Now it?s sunshine all the way.
Found my smile in an orange plastic bottle
Fifty milligrams a day?

And these small blue pills
Ease my pain.
Chemical umbrella
Protect me from the rain
So I don?t have to feel
And I don?t have to know
These small blue pills
Paint me a rainbow?

And should I go back to black?
To everything I lack?
To the chaos and confusion?

Well, if reality?s the holy grail,
Honey, mine?s for sale.
I?ll trade it for illusion any day.

?Cos I found my yellow-brick-road
And I?m laughing all the way
Seeing life through an orange plastic bottle
Well it makes everything okay??
REPEAT CHORUS?

Oh these small blue pills
Ease my pain.
Chemical umbrella
Protect me from the rain
And it may not be real
But I don?t have to know
?Cos these small blue pills
Paint me a rainbow?
They paint me a rainbow.

Come, come to the Prozac Nation
Where the scarecrow and the tin man can be king.
Where life is one long celebration
And even witches get to sing.
