Portrait In Black And Blue
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.
Spastic gyrations and abbreviated
bathing suits see I suit you
cause I cold be you and I could show you true
till the cold runs through and through
a portrait you in black and blue
I ain't painting this lie any more since it was all I had to adore of you
and all I have to say is girl you keep running away.
Well time never gave me a chance
I shoulda been there oh you ladybird to my soul
to my world left a hole to despair See what I'm going
through you never even knew
that's nothing on my plate, trapped in a lizard state,
minds at the gate, looking for an escape
I ain't painting this lie any more since it was all I had to adore of you
and all I have to say is Giiirl I'm not painting this lie any more
and I'm dark and I'm in awe of you and all you had to say is,
it never hit me the same boy...
