Nothing but a mudpie wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
Nothing but a castle built on top of a swamp of quicksand
And inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
Lies a rusty pot of fools gold that you got with your life

You thought you'd tie your bad back by loyalty
You thought you taught yourself to walk like royalty
'Til the day you became his prey
As you tripped over your red carpet

You wash your hair in melaleuca oil
Then you wrapped your head up with tin foil
And prance around in your bathrobe
Pretending you're a king

You're spinning hard
Sinking faster now

Well you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Follow the sun

Nothing but a calendar hanging in your walls that's twenty-three years old
Nothing but a for-sale sign on a house that's already sold
Trying to chew through that chocolate-covered barbed wire
'Cause there's a mountain of beautiful filth waiting for you on the other side

You're spinning hard
Sinking faster now

Well you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
Follow the sun

Follow the sun, follow the sun

Clever lies in the rusty and forgotten
Brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
What I felt was so deep and I am so hollow
And what I thought had meaning ended up so shallow

And you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun

Yeah, you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes it's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun
