Paint a Face
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.
Try to get the colours right
And I'll paint you face she said
Cos life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right
Buy a ten-dollar camera
take a picture of everyone
Cos people change
Yeah they change
Changing everyday
And I don't want to be the one that you don't recognise
I don't want to be the one that's left behind
Got a broken car yeah got a selfish heart
Running down the road
With a jukebox in my head
Funny how I got to here
I don't remember how
I just want to live somewhere where the air is sweet and clear
And I don't want to be the one that you don't recognise
I don't want to be the one that's left behind
