Hiss Golden Messenger

Painting Houses
Down on Colfax again Lights all shining on the mess we made Damn the neon, damn the rain Damn the dollar, keep the change We're broke but we're breathing Running clean but I'm out of steam Burning late like kerosene And when there ain't enough to count it Get up on the roof, you're painting houses For as long as you can take it Time's creeping past the quarter moon If it takes forever, I guess we'll be there soon And still you hum that old tune "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" At this hour there's nowhere left to go Walk a mile in the dirty snow Hitch a ride to the Broken Arrow Running clean but I'm out of steam Flying past the factories They say a new day's coming, I don't doubt it I'm stuck on the roof, still painting houses Tears run down, they overflow Coming out in stereo So turn it up a little louder As living proof the fire ain't out yet From Letras Mania
