lyrics

And the colored window keeps me in the room
Some kind of half-wit
I'm dropping to my knees beside the pew
Run along now, son

And you could learn a thing or two
About good habits
And how to keep attention from a room
It's a long two hours

And I keep thinking of my home
Could reach and grab it
If only my poor body wasn't small
Now the song I hear

From on the balcony it rings
Some kind of travesty
Not to hear the beauty that it brings
I was wrong, I know

And the colored window keeps me in the room
It's not so bad
It can take this crummy town and turn it blue
Can make it golden

The color is completely up to you
And where you're standing
And you can stay and use the window too
It's a long way home

It's a long way home
