Lyrics
Red Paint
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On a table lies the crust of what he
Had and just leaves behind
As I put bread down on the list of things
That I had to buy
By the store leaves your mountain bike
You on the floor still looking hard core
The colour is read under my show
And the friend is gone who put a hole
In you
Insensitivity took a hold of me
And I felt it colour me blue inside
And I left taking a part of you
Like red red paint on the sole
Of my shoe nothing to do with
Common sense or
Sensitivity. I'm feeling cold
Like concrete
Your dignity's reflecting
In the way I feel it
Open minded. The thoughts are clear
From feeling regardless. Heart beats
With pain
You were oh so happy just the other day
Now heartbeats with pain took it all away
The cradle did rock for you too
Looking out from the inside
While life turns to blue
Watching all the glass faces
Leave their red red footprints
On our
Sensitivity. I'm feeling cold
Like concrete
Your dignity's reflecting
In the way I feel it
By the store lays your mountain bike
You on the floor no more hard core
The colour was red under my shoe
And the friend has gone
Who put a whole in you
Guided by the blue light that
Takes you away I'm on my way home
Guided by the blue light
That takes you away
I'm on my way home
Guided by the blue light
I'm on my way home...
