And I could paint you red
Like the passion you feel
It might not be colorful
But at least it'd be real
And I could paint you green
Like the envy you know
You're all alone and I
With nowhere to go
And I could paint you grey
To show how you're empty
To show how you don't care
So the world can all see

And I could paint you taupe
Cause they say that it's soothing
But you're like a drug to me
That could use some abusing
And I could paint you gold
To show you're a mourner
Would that make you honest
Would it make you sincere
