Million Dollar Houses (The Painter)
So what if I was just a painterpainting houses on the rich blue coast?Would you ever try to leave meFor somebody who deserves you most?'Cause darling I am just a painterI'm painting houses for the rich old folksI'm gonna make a million dollars'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, noFor diamonds and goldFor diamonds and gold
'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you onlyI make money but we just can't keep this homeGive me your heart and your hand and we can run!We can run, we can run baby, run nowWe can run baby, run
She's like a bullet through an oceanI still remember how you moved so slowYou tried to kill me with a shotgunBang! Now we're evenWe 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 onlyI make money but we just can't keep this homeGive me your heart and your hand and we can run!We can run, we can run baby, run nowWe can run baby, run baby, you're my hope
Permanently yoursSometimes the moon looks brighter than the sunAs times like this run up my wristShe hates all of the guts and bloodSplash around with me while we move like flames on burning sheetsAnd your doctor won't stop calling me her medication
But baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we plannedTo live is just to fall asleepTo die is to awakeMaybe we're meant to lose the ones we loveBut I'll fight for you till thenAnd if they stole you from meOn my arm there's a tattoo of your name
I've broken bones for you, and for you onlyI make money, but fuck money we want loveGive me your heart and your hand and we can run!
