Why is Floyd pink?

You dreamed about the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’

and remembered how you wanted to know

why Floyd was pink

and you thought who cares

about the dark side of the moon

if you can’t see it

and you remembered how you hid

dirty clothes under your bed

because your mother

didn’t want to see your mess

and you remembered you didn’t wear underwear

with your dress pants to church

because your father only checked to see

if you shined your shoes and combed your hair

and you remembered as a boy

you peeped in the bathroom window

at the neighbor girl, but no one worried about being seen naked

if they didn’t know someone wass watching

and you fell back asleep with the melody

of the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’

playing in your head

still wanting to know why Floyd is pink.
