Paint It BlackI see a red door and I want it painted black, No colors anymore I want them to turn black. I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes. I see a line of cars and they're all painted black, With flowers and my love, both never to come back. I see people turn their heads and quickly look away, Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day. I look inside myself and see my heart is black, I see my red door and I want it painted black. Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts, It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black. No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue, I could not forsee this thing happening to you. If I look hard enough into the setting sun, My love will laugh with me before the morning comes. I see a red door and I want it painted black, No colors anymore I want them to turn black. I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes. I wanna see your face painted black, black as night. Don't wanna see the sun flyin' high in the sky. I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah!
Painted HorseChild on a painted horse Streams that will run their course Gone to a far away shore Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Days of another kind Frost gets a bruising vine Why did the carpenter die Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Sweet as a rose so fine Peaceful as a final time How old could the lion man cry Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Thoughts of a winter moon Warm in a distant room Why did I fall asleep so soon Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping

For I don't know who I am - Just gimme words to say Singer! Let me sing a song! Singer! Let me sing a song! But you don't have to worry 'cos singer you can sing along
Perfect StrangersCan you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain) And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers

Pictures Of HomeSomebody's shouting up at a mountain Only my own words return Nobody's up there, it's a deception When will I ever learn? I'm alone here with emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home Wondering blindly, how can they find me? Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking, anticipating The call of the black footed crow-ouh I'm alone here with emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And taunting with pictures of home Here in this prison of my own making Year after day I have grown Into a herobut there's no worship Where have they hidden my throne-ouh? I'm alone here with emptiness, eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And screaming out pictures of home
Place In LineI'm living in this line I know my place, could think of no way Of edging along in a loser's race The line was moving slowly Day by night Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line Nine long years I've been in line Getting nowhere there is no reason For this line I don't care. Everybody's standing in the burning sun Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line Don't you think we're gonna make it We've got a place in line We're gonna make it some time Somehow

The Purpendicular WaltzYey-yeah! Put your money down, take your choice That's the way it is every time with these boys And you sense no shame and you feel no disgrace Somebody wins, somebody loses - it's a dirty dirty race Oh my life, it's a dog's life Yeah... One empty Monday out of the blue Took a good luck turn and started something new Out of the gutter, out of the rain Out of my head and I'm feeling no pain Oh my life, it's a dog's life Mmm ah ouh... Ducking in the shadows, diving in the dark Rolling with the punches, striking at the heart Touching all the senses, breaking those taboos Bursting at the seams, blowing all my fuses The turning of a page, burning of a book If you're talking out of turn, just the way you look When the time is right but the shape is wrong And you find yourself where you don't belong Back to reality, back on the line Mmm back into this and you'll feel no pain Oh my life, you wanna do it once again, ooh
