Paint a Face Lyrics by Neil Halstead

Oh! Mighty Engine

0

[Verse 1]
"Try to get the colours right
And I'll paint your face," she said
"'Cause life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right"
Buy a ten-dollar camera
Take a picture of everyone
'Cause people change, yeah, they change
Yeah, they're changing everyday
[Chorus]
And I don't want to be the one
That you don't recognize
No, I don't want to be the one
The one that's left behind
[Verse 2]
Got a broken car
You got a selfish heart
Running down the road
With a jukebox in my head
Funny how I got to here
'Cause I don't remember how
I just want to live somewhere
Where the air is sweet and clear
[Chorus]
And I don't want to be the one
That you don't recognize
No, I don't want to be the one
The one that's left behind
No, I don't want to be the one
The one that's left behind
[Chorus]
And I don't want to be the one
That you don't recognize
No, I don't want to be the one
The one that's left behind
[Chorus]
No, I don't want to be the one
That you don't recognize
No, I don't want to be the one
The one that's left behind
