song lyrics
Painted Eyelids lyrics
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
The world is your oyster
And the trashbags are your kids
The ceiling is invisible
There s a bird sinkin through the sky
And every hour that passes
Is teachin me how to cry
cause it s lonely here
In the ugly part of town
The buildings are all vacant
And the telephones are down

There s a police siren singing
Like a tiger with no skin
The sewer drain is glowing
And I don t know what state I m in
And the river is on fire
There s chemicals in the breeze
And all the roads are blocked off
cause they re just too hard to see
So cancel my appointments
And set up a whole new show
cause I m in need of a good hot meal
And a life to call my own

So get me a plate of money
And get me a blanket and a chair
The limitations are limitless
They re floating through the air
Because it s real and it s true
The things I see in you
And there s nothing I wouldn t talk about
You re the clearest dream that ever drifted by
