| So what if I was just a painter
|
| Painting houses on the rich blue coast
|
| Would you ever try to leave me
|
| For somebody who deserves you most
|
| Cause darling I am just a painter
|
| I’m painting houses for the rich old folks
|
| I’m gonna make a million dollars
|
| Cause nobody’s gonna steal you, no
|
| For diamonds and gold
|
| For diamonds and gold
|
| Cause I’ve broken bones for you
|
| And for you only
|
| I make the money, but we just can’t keep this home
|
| Give me your heart and your hand
|
| And we can run
|
| We can run, we can run, baby run now
|
| We can run, baby run
|
| She’s like a bullet through an ocean
|
| I still remember how you moved so slow
|
| You tried to kill me with a shotgun
|
| Bang, now we’re even
|
| We don’t stop till someone’s bleeding
|
| We don’t stop till someone’s bleeding
|
| Cause I’ve broken bones for you
|
| And for you only
|
| I make the money, but we just can’t keep this home
|
| Give me your heart and your hand
|
| Then we can run
|
| We can run, we can run, baby run now
|
| We can run, baby run, baby you’re my hope
|
| Permanently yours
|
| Sometimes, the moon looks brighter than the sun
|
| As times like this run up my wrists
|
| She hates all of the guts and blood
|
| Splash around with me
|
| While we move like flames on burning sheets
|
| And your doctor won’t stop calling me her medication
|
| But, baby no, sometimes things don’t work out the way we’ve planned
|
| To live is just to fall asleep
|
| To die is to awaken
|
| Maybe we’re meant to lose the ones we love
|
| But, I’ll fight for you till then
|
| And if he stole you from me
|
| On my arm there’s a tattoo of your name
|
| I’ve broken bones for you
|
| And for you only
|
| I needed money, but fuck money
|
| We want love
|
| Give me your heart and your hand
|
| And we can run |
