Painting in the Dark
[Jennings / Dorrian]
City streets are filled with crime, politician's laugh and dine
Pubic stare of murdered eyes, living statues, souls have died
Concrete cancer setting in, another war about to begin
In freedom's coffin life rotting, release me from this social din
Mythic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
Spiral staircase in my mind after midnight sense climb
Building castles in the sky, gateways to another life
Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas
Aphrodite waits for me, we swim into eternity
Epic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
Wealth of minds in poverty, dying world, what's left for me?
Outcast of reality, close my eyes so I can be
In mythic places only I can see
No murdered faces of reality
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
City streets are filled with crime, politician's laugh and dine
Pubic stare of murdered eyes, living statues, souls have died
Concrete cancer setting in, another war about to begin
In freedom's coffin life rotting, release me from this social din
Mythic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
Spiral staircase in my mind after midnight sense climb
Building castles in the sky, gateways to another life
Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas
Aphrodite waits for me, we swim into eternity
Epic places only I can see
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
Wealth of minds in poverty, dying world, what's left for me?
Outcast of reality, close my eyes so I can be
In mythic places only I can see
No murdered faces of reality
Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark
