Are You There Colleen

Trey Anastasio

[Verse 1]
Any chance or circumstance, you try to muscle through it
You find a way that is exactly how you shouldnt do it
Are there numbers on that page? Arabic or Roman?
The scribbles on the other side, of course it is an omen
[Chorus]
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Colleen?
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Colleen?
[Verse 2]
You see things no others see
The tapestrys in front of me
But you find clues no others find
A pattern that was left behind
In the maze you turn with guidance
From your inner voice
The path turns arbitrarily

You make a different choice
[Chorus]
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Colleen?
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Colleen?
[Outro]
But randomness has reason
And its purpose is to teach
Another version of our world is drifting within reach
Are you there, Colleen?
Are you there, Colleen?
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Colleen?
Are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there, are you there
Are you there?
