Lyrics:
painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore
House to the ground
Slave! Slave!
To fight the violence we must be
oh she cries
Every day I watch the colonel smile, oh he smiles
His painted ladies riding in from town, in from town
Oh I swear one day I'm gonna burn
the key, to the eternal dream.
The painted ladies of the Avalon.
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold,
From the window of your rented limousine
I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Painted lady in the city of lies
Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy
Indian water slipping down a mountain stream
You know what I mean
Painted lady touch the water
Forest standing,
and summer fairs and swimming in the sea
I kept drinkin', sinkin' 'til there was nothing left of me
Ooh ooh feeling fine mama
Painted ladies and a bottle
where
All that lives is dead
Don't choose it's shadows to make your bed
Behind that painted lady
There's a masterpiece
Behind the painted lady
She's
Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy
Indian water slipping down a mountain stream
You know what I mean
Painted lady touch the water
Forest standing,
Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy
Indian water slipping down a mountain stream
You know what I mean
Painted lady touch the water
Forest standing, sentry
craved the great white way
But it is a place without pity
I went wrong the very first day
I met there a painted lady
She seemed so jolly and gay
She took
From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.
afraid of being on my own
But I don't wanna go home
You can't win, you damn fool
Drank all the wine from the cup
And your painted lady's gone now
afraid of being on my own
But I don't wanna go home
You can't win, you damn fool
Drank all the wine from the cup
And your painted lady's gone now
I've known some painted ladies that sparkled in the light
Country girls that loved the lovers moon
Some I never really knew, though I always wanted
Giggle hole in the hallway wall
Singin' like a painted lady
Use your skull like a cannon ball
But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go
If you play the painted lady
Four and more
Five
And six
Who would have believed
It would come
To this
Look what you do oh, Ruby Blue
Check
If you play the painted lady
Four and more
Five
And six
Who would have believed
It would come
To this
Look what you do oh, Ruby Blue
Check
straight
Nights out in the jungle
I'm so early when I'm late
Painted ladies gigolos
Cracked up from their head down to their toes
It's all uptown chic
That painted lady
That satin doll
That lazy shady walk that makes her look like a moll
Dressed up in diamonds
She won't take no less
Guess someone
Now painted ladies want to hold my gun
Wonder if the whole time if I'd been acting
When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film
Had I really made
Yeah
Damn lady, when God painted you
He took his time, that's why these lyrics
Are pressed for you in this rhyme
Wondering how you fit in them jeans
punched up
'Til you hunched, talk-talkin' like you punch drunk
One love, two maybe if I'm drunk enough
Naked watchin' three painted ladies do the bump
down and out on your streets
I would run if I only had a place to run to
Old Fogtown
Well the city's got the charms of a painted lady
the Mexican border
In cheap pair of ban ban
Lockets (?)
In my stomach
I needed some relief
Take me back to Frisco
In your vanity chest
With painted
