Painting Pictures

Painting Pictures (4:41)

Painting Pictures of what I see
who you are and what you mean to me
Get on the canvass
don’t mind my brush
just don’t get mad if I paint
you a little too much.

Saving silver
lending gold
hands are tied by what you’re told.
It’s your illusion to use
if you make it real
you got to live in your state of mind
believe what you feel.

Painting pictures of where I’ll be
future sights over foreign sea
and I can see tomorrow on a cloudy day
we all see in a different way.

My discriminating eye
reveals the danger zone
its black as night, its cold as stone.
Open up your thoughts
and let the light shine in
illuminate the mysteries hidden
beneath your skin.

Pain is the fire in the diamond
because I can’t draw the line
I ain’t no Shiva,
but I ain’t no gingerbread man
but baby I’ll always try ‘till the day I die

So you see me painting pictures
so you see me cry
so you see me reach up and touch the sky
So I got a hole in my shoe
steal cookies from the cookie jar
its all the same to me
because its all part of
Painting pictures of where I’ll be
future sights over foreign sea
and I can see tomorrow on a cloudy day
we all see in a different way.
