Colors Lyrics

We're listening to Nine Inch Nails in my car
I wonder when they'll find the body
7-Eleven's got so many bottles of juice
I love the colors

Back at the farm, we never got to
Sleep in the same room
I hated Uncle Max, I hope he isn't mad at me
Look out the window, see the colors

I love the colors
Colors
I love the colors

I might never sleep again
I might never dream again
But that's all right
'Cause there's so many colors

I love green and red
Colors
I'll get you some blues
Colors
I love the colors

Someday I'd like to be on TV
Dead in your lap beside a gun
And a copy of Poison's Native Tongue
And some flowers of many different colors

I love the colors
Colors
I love the colors

We're listening to Nine Inch Nails in my car
I wonder when they'll find the body

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
