Compositor: Exene Cervenka / John Doe

bartenders eyes are full of pitty as he tells her
"your alone and its 2:30 all the chairs are
on the table and its time to close!"
she said "a minute ago they were starin
at me where the hell did they go?"
and she went out to paint the town roses
are red violence is too everyone knows
im painting the town blue "you look funny when you cry"
were his last words:
before her laughed and said goodby she flipped
a finger and so she picked her shoes up
picked up her feet & let em walk hand in hand down
the dirty hallway then she went out to paint
the town blue roses are red violence is too everyone
knows im painting the town blue was she beat did
she suffer from a working hand she always hated
his hacking cough early in the morning she walked
to the grayhound to take a little ride he could look
in the corner of every town but he wont find
her cause she went out to paint the town roses
are red violence is too everyone knows im painting
the town blue
