Paint Lyrics







[Verse 1]

You painted peachy for my hands [?]

Sienna red dab for her leg

Then you paint my head to think about you

Turquise glintz my eyelash tint

To me it's just graffiti on my brain

But who am I to complain?



[Verse 2]

Swirls of blue hue for the background

You're out of green so the hills are brown

Dull little town in the valley will abound

Perspectives are sort of getting contorted

My world is flat, I think I feel constrained

But who am I to complain?



[Verse 3]

You paint me a gate that's a passage out

So I can jump canvas and move about

Not quite dry, but I feel so real out here

Drop your wet brush and grab my hem

We twirl and fall and mush ourselves insane

But who am I to complain?



[Bridge]

Who am I to complain?

You made me who I am today

Who am I to complain anyway?



[Verse 4]

[?]

We can drive it down to Jamaica

Shake it to the ghetto da bomb down

Instead you're still [?]

But to me you know you're critically acclaimed

Slash my legs, cross your floor

In halogen light, I glow in your refrain

Oh, baby, paint

Paint, paint, paint, paint, paint, paint, paint



[Verse 5]

Another show, no pieces sold

[?] in your portfolio

Packed up with the cheese and pink champagne

And as lose you faith in all you made

I flattened back to the confines of the frame

But who am I to complain?



[Bridge]

Who am I to complain?

You made me who I am today

Who am I to complain anyway?
