Painting Pictures
Painting pictures in the street
He didn't ever have to be
Anything more than he bargained for
He's got his cigarettes at hand
And he's saving what he can
That's discarded by the pass byers
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
Even when he was a child
He never got a smile
From his parents or a lullaby
Now he's drinking wet cement
Getting as hard as he can
To survive with all the nasty men
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
Painting pictures in the street
He didn't ever have to be
Anything more than he bargained for
He's got his cigarettes at hand
And he's saving what he can
That's discarded by the pass byers
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
He didn't ever have to be
Anything more than he bargained for
He's got his cigarettes at hand
And he's saving what he can
That's discarded by the pass byers
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
Even when he was a child
He never got a smile
From his parents or a lullaby
Now he's drinking wet cement
Getting as hard as he can
To survive with all the nasty men
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
Painting pictures in the street
He didn't ever have to be
Anything more than he bargained for
He's got his cigarettes at hand
And he's saving what he can
That's discarded by the pass byers
And in case you failed to notice
He's not going home tonight
He's filling tears up in his eyes
And in case you failed to notice
He never got a chance at life
He's passing his time for a while
