Corinne Bailey Rae — Ice Cream Colours

Dancing at your apartment Under electric lights Sneaking out of this party Running into the night The sky is all crystal We’re animate we’re intimate we’re wild And right at this moment I can see the past and future in your eyes Oh why? Anytime I feel this rush I’m overwhelmed It’s chemical I don’t know why I don’t know why You make me dream in ice cream colours Crystal waves Through my brain I don’t know why I don’t know why Lying out in the sunlight Swimming in golden rays Our days go by so slowly But the nights spin fast My senses ablaze I’m making a collage I’m taken with the possibilities You pull me in closer And happiness is burning like a neon dream Oh why? Anytime I feel this rush I’m overwhelmed It’s chemical I don’t know why I don’t know why You make me dream in ice cream colours Crystal waves Through my brain I don’t know why I don’t know why The distance I’ve traveled The distance is immeasurable in time But none of that matters When I can see the past and future In your eyes, oh why? Anytime I feel this rush I’m overwhelmed It’s chemical I don’t know why I don’t know why You make me dream in ice cream colours Crystal waves Through my brain I don’t know why I don’t know why
