Song Description

About Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz comign of age; you can't go back once you've been to the other side.

Lyrics

I could sing a song in blue, a song of us like lovers do
But I'd only break down and cry
I could sing a song in red, a song in green on the lines between
But I'd only break down and cry

'Cause my head is high, but the walls are higher
And the ink is read, but my anger's redder
And the new growth is green, but my envy's even greener, and...

Dorothy you've reached the other side
Behind a rainbow's a transparent place to hide
You traded in your dolls, your ball and jacks
For a one-way flight, now you can't go back, and
Dorothy, you've reached the other side

Is everybody quite as deep, losing weight and losing sleep
'Til they only break down and cry?
Sitting here just writing songs, getting high and getting wrong
Oh it's time to break down and cry

'Cause my head is high, but the walls are higher
And the ink is red, but my anger's redder
And the new growth is green, but my envy's even greener, and...

Dorothy you've reached the other side
Behind a rainbow's a transparent place to hide
You traded in your dolls, your ball and jacks
For a one-way flight, now you can't go back, and
Dorothy, you've reached the other side

Run through the field, jump the fence
Jump a rainbow, what's the difference?
We're not in Kansas anymore!

'Though my head is high, and the walls are higher
The page is clean, just like a brand new world
And the new growth is green
And it's time to paint your dreams, Girl!

Dorothy you've reached the other side
Behind a rainbow's a transparent place to hide
You traded in your dolls, your ball and jacks
For a one-way flight, now you can't go back, and
Dorothy, you've reached the other side
Behind a rainbow's a transparent place to hide
We trade in all our childhood things
For a chance to see what life can bring, and
Dorothy, you've reached the other side
Dorothy....Dorothy....Dorothy.....wake up Dorothy...
