Too Many Colors
written by
River Phoenix |
Photo at the
time of "Running On Empty", River played a musical
character, Danny Pope, a role which justifiably earned him much praise. |

My closet is all
I have for secrets
I lived once before
indoors just
like fox painting
That maybe grateful
I lost my real reason
I was scared
Taste was real
There were too
many colors
Wake up to more
To Juddervision
Made up with colors
Wake up to more
To Juddervision
Other colors
Somehow we get
trapped in
too unlikely straight-jackets
Top tailors,
pay all
We'll say,
'Well, they suit you!'
They sold you
that credit
Stressed
brainless, you can't budge
Sleeping elves
in black/white dreams
Inside it seems
like treason
Wake up to more
To Juddervision
Made up with colors
Wake up to more
To Juddervision
Made up with colors
This world is
colored in
by your own hearts
It could be
melting pot
for soldier's crayons
This world has
more than I
wanted it for
Too many colors
are mixed wrong

Characteristic shot below with River on acoustic guitar. Much of his
songwriting was done with guitar initially, as at the time of
"Dark Blood." |

It would be
very interesting to hear the "Dark Blood" tapes and to
transcribe the song lyrics. |
