Lyrics
Picturesque
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.
I would like, I would prefer no choice,
Just one bread, one milk, one food for all,
I'm confused I only want one truth,
I really don't mind being lied to,
Don't mind being lied to...
So picturesque!
Picturesque, here tonight,
So picturesque!
Picturesque knowing ourselves...
The shadow is, the shadow is a cross okay,
But judgement must, judgement must be willing today,
SIlence is not sacrifice, crucifixion the easy life,
Crucifixion the easy life...
So picturesque!
Picturesque, here tonight,
So picturesque!
Picturesque knowing ourselves...
(guitar solo 1)
The luxury of one more try,
Pretend he'll never need the ugly life,
He'll never lead the ugly life...
So picturesque!
Picturesque, here tonight,
So picturesque!
Picturesque if nothing else...
(guitar solo 2 + end)
