Painted Roads Lyrics by Cris Jacobs

2019

I heard enough about the grand reveal
While the whole world waiting on the same seven seals
Gone where they keep it to the day by day, let it play by feel
Walking down them painted roads
Can be a long way, for some shortchange, on mercenary ground
Living to only turn another page and never take one look around
Going down those painted roads
Where the wild magnolia grow
And the walls are painted gold
Going down those painted roads
She said everybody looking for the holy grail
Some secret to cracking all the codes of the cosmos, with no detail
Instead of bleeding out every thorn from the flower, tooth and nail
What would you do better, if you knew better?
Would you still feel joy and pain?
We took the long way, round the palisades, got lost a little while
Reading the marks drawn on the caves, of sacred signs
Going down those painted roads
Where the wild magnolia grow
And the walls are painted gold
Going down those painted roads
Leave my soul
And let the whole world sing
In celebration
The hymn of the humble heart
Color where you, color where you are
In any shade
Follow me back to carnival
Through that masquerade
(Follow me back to carnival
In those diamond, in those diamond days
(Follow me back to carnival)
With the dancers and the legend saints
(Follow me back to carnival)
Round the corners and alleyways
(Follow me back to carnival)
Where I'll spend my days
Going down those painted roads
Down those painted roads
Going down those painted roads
Going down those painted roads
