Yellow Paint Lyrics by Madde

One More Hour

2018

[Verse 1]
The man is painting the window
Dark, dark red, almost black
He stepped away to get a good look at his work
But he saw me through, so off to painting he went back

[Verse 2]
I am on the telephone
With 1-800-GOT-A-CASE-OF-THE-BLUES
They hung up on me when I said, "Aren't you?"
And someone was complaining about the news

[Verse 3]
I couldn't believe my tired eyes
When I saw in the paper
Right next to the used cars for sale
It said the working man has died

[Verse 4]
Turns out all of his house inside
Was painted that dark, dark red
From pillows to inside the washing machine
People asking all around what's the cause of his death

[Verse 5]
Yeah, my dear, dear mother
Just lost a high school friend
Autopsy said he ate yellow paint
With a note saying 'this made me happy instead'

[Verse 6]
Many people thought of him as a mad man
Consuming toxins like champagne
But I have noticed
He's smart enough to know the consequence

[Verse 7]
He had found a greater risk
And took the small chances he had
Because he knew there were chances for everything
Even a chance of happiness
