nothing but a mudpie   wrapped up inside with a pretty bow   nothing but a castle build on top of a swamp of quicksand   and inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows   lies a rusty pot of fool's gold that you got with your life       you thought you'd take a bad bet on loyalty   you though you'd tell yourself to act like royalty   until the day you became his prey   as you tripped over your incumbent   you wash your hair in melaleuca oil   then you wrap your head up with tin foil and   prance around in your bathrobe   pretending you're a king       but you're spinning hard   sinking faster now       well you can follow your rainbows   and I will follow the sun now   wherever he goes it's   not too far to run   so I will follow the sun   follow the sun       nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall that's 23 years old   nothing but a for sale sign on a house that's already sold   trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire   cause they're among the beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side       but you're spinning hard   sinking faster now       well you can follow your rainbows   and I will follow the sun now   wherever he goes it's   not too far to run   so I will follow the sun   follow the sun   follow the sun   follow the sun       clever lives end up rusty and forgotten   brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's   what I thought was so deep ended up so hollow   and what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow      yeah you can follow your rainbows   and I will follow the sun now   wherever he goes it's   not too far to run   so I will follow the sun       yeah you can follow your rainbows   and I will follow the sun now   wherever he goes it's   not too far to run   so I will follow the sun
