Million Dollar Houses (The Painter)

So what if I was just a painter?
Painting houses on the rich blue coast
Would you ever try to leave me
For somebody who deserves you most?
'Cause darling, I am just a painter (ooh)
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks
I'm gonna make a million dollars (ooh)
'Cause nobody's gonna steal you, no
For diamonds and gold
For diamonds and gold

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, baby, run now
We can run, baby, run

She's like a bullet through an ocean
I still remember how you moved so slow (so slow)
You tried to kill me with a shotgun (oh)
Bang, now we're even
We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding
We don't stop 'til someone's bleeding

I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, baby, run now
We can run, baby, run, baby, you're my hope

Permanently yours (oh)
Sometimes the moon looks brighter than the sun (ooh)
As times like this run up my wrists
She hates all of the guts and blood (ooh)
Splash around with me
While we move like flames on burning sheets (ooh)
And your doctor won't stop calling me her medication
But, baby no, sometimes things don't work out the way we've planned
To live is just to fall asleep
To die is to awaken

Ooh
Oh (ooh)

Maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love
But I'll fight for you 'til then
And if he stole you from me
On my arm, there's a tattoo of your name

I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money, but fuck money, we want love
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run
We can run, we can run, we can run
We can run, we can run, we can run
