yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow
yellow is the color of the sun
black is the color of a strangled rainbow
just the color of my lung
black is the color of my true love's arrow
just the color of a human's blood
this comes from the liner notes in the album
also, i think the meaning behind this song may have something to do with "shampoo" being a barber/hair salon. the narrator is telling the sweeper boy that he can has a chance to be more than what he is although he is young and "shampoo" has been around for 10 years longer than he has even been alive. it is beautiful lyrically regardless and whatever it means im in love.
I'm pretty sure the lyrics go as follows:
