What if I told you I met the princess today?
She was my painting
Of a red sweater against cloudy gray
Of a rainbow silently fainting
What if I told you she had a pink highlighter
And she dreamed of outcoloring the world

He offered me a map
And plaintively showed me the way
Too crazy was I to fall for his trap
What if I told you he was my friend?
An ally I met in our combat
But what if I told you he's my end?
So now you believe me at last
I met a princess and a cat today
One a distraction, the other an obstacle
Both beckoning me to go their way
But in the end it all becomes part of one chronicle
