Painted people get you going and I'll smother that pig in a holy scene
It ain't too hard to see
The paint, my love, gets you going like you wanna be got for the next world's scene
It ain't too hard to sing
The pill's taken everything
The pill you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin
Painted people get me going like a smothering pig in a holy scene
It ain't too hard to see
Yeah, well I can striptease with you like a silly old cow in a torched dream
It ain't too hard to see
The pill's taken everything
The pill you're taking
The pill's taken everything, it's in your skin, it's in my skin
