color me once

Singer:violent femmes

color me once

color me twice. everything gonna turn out nice. everlasting arms

you gotta keep me from these false alarms. alarm

alarm i see you sad

maybe i see you i'm glad

maybe maybe the fire of her desire. patience

patience

said the man. patience

patience

i can't understand. patience like a man and a wife

i got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife. i say jack be nimble

jack fall dead

jack bend over and give jilly head. oh you gotta help my body heal my soul. dead men working a sinner

a saint

mixing up a pail of paint

painted the house

black as night. when the sun came up the house was white. gotta go on

gotta go on. we gotta go on

you gotta go on

you gotta go on

go on

go on
