Indigo Girls - Thursday Afternoon lyrics

Her life is a show One act follows the other everywhere she goes She takes the leading role She never plays herself Save for the time she's on the stage Color her black or white Now either one reflects the teardrops One extreme for the other Nothing in between Color her white for the princess she could be Color her black for the troubled child she plays so well Well she's dancing through hell on a dream And blue is soul of the one Reaching for the man that she hasn't got yet And holding on to those hearts for lost causes She could be so bright But she's reaching for us all Color her blue for the loneliness she feels She's hiding her heart in the sky And this is a thursday afternoon It's just another thursday afternoon It's just another thursday afternoon Color me grey I'm a little bit of everything today And i'm not sure just where i'm going Color me grey Wishing i was something more of distinction Color us all 'cause we're just stars Wishing our lives away Into the distance And out of existence Color her black or white Color her blue Or color me grey Color us all - we're stars Wishing our lives away Now we're stars
