Turquoise House - Jim White

I’ll never fit in so why should I try?

How I’m I ever gonna pass for a normal guy?

I can’t wear no suit and tie, gotta let my freak flag fly

If I walk the straight and narrow one more day I think I’ll die

Because I wanna live in a turquoise house

With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard

Drive around town in a turquoise car

Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

Now faith is a riddle and love is a dream

Things are seldom what they seem

If you say your prayers at night and comb your hair just right

You might not feel like you’re in hell but then again you might

Me, I wanna live in a turquoise house

With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard

Drive around town in a turquoise car

Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

I want turquoise carpets and turquoise shoes

Turquoise papers with all the turquoise news

Turquoise only, not teal or aquamarine

I’ve seen my future and it’s a shade of blueish green

Now I can’t turn back, there ain’t no way

(He's going turquoise today)

When word gets out there’ll be hell to pay

(He's going turquoise today)

This life’s not for the faint

But you can’t be what you ain’t

I know I’ll never truly be myself

Till I get me that turquoise paint

Because I wanna live in a turquoise house

With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard

Drive around town in a turquoise car

Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

I wanna live in a turquoise house

With a turquoise garden and a turquoise yard

Drive around town in a turquoise car

Find a turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

A turquoise girl with a turquoise heart

A turquoise girl in a turquoise dress

And a skirt and a shirt

That’s covering up her turquoise heart
