Lyrics

Melting Crayons
===============
Leaving the marooned ship
Trying to keep from feeling red-faced
And embarrassed pink
I peeled the orange very slowly
With a sense of yellow courage
Realizing how green I was about this
I struggled to hold back envy

I recall how blue I felt
Within the indigo glow
But with violet pride
I sought the purple passion
And felt strong jealousy

In the heat of the bright light
I felt my surface tan
And, over time, brown to a crisp
