I don't understand about complimentary colors
And what they say
Side by side they both get bright
Together they both get gray
But he's been pretty much yellow
And I've been crying blue
But all I can see is
Red, red, red, red, red now
What am I to do

I don't understand about diamonds
And why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond?
Except the mining
And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill (kill, kill, kill, kill, kill) myself doing it
Maybe I would glisten so much for you

I've been watching all the time
And I still can't find the track
And I wanna know is it okay
Is it just fine?
Was it my fault?
Is it my lack?

I don't understand about the weather outside
The harbinger to the words
Somebody lied
There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'm trying to understand
There's nothing else I can do
