First I take the lyrics
they all dance inside my head
as I lay them in sheet music
they shall all dance inside my bed
There’s a trickle of time
when all may lay dormant
but when the chord of life is struck
there is very little left, but the moment
Tiger in the sky
flies so very high
in words, all comes true
a blimp on your screen, it’s you know who
Colors of the rainbow
abstract shades of pastel
dance without any reason
in the words that I shall never tell
A single color junky
devours all the greens and blues
leaving the canvas empty of glass
in the never ending silence of hues

Well what a great way to beat boredom right enough. Let the music take you to places of inspiration and then let you write about it too.. brilliant. Thanks for this one, abstract, original and cleverly pieced together.
