Lyrics

Painted Roads I heard enough about the grand reveal While the whole world waiting on the same seven seals Gone where they keep it to the day by day, let it play by feel Walking down them painted roads Can be a long way, for some shortchange, on mercenary ground Living to only turn another page and never take one look around Going down those painted roads Where the wild magnolia grow And the walls are painted gold Going down those painted roads She said everybody looking for the holy grail Some secret to cracking all the codes of the cosmos, with no detail Instead of bleeding out every thorn from the flower, tooth and nail What would you do better, if you knew better? Would you still feel joy and pain? We took the long way, round the palisades, got lost a little while Reading the marks drawn on the caves, of sacred signs Going down those painted roads Where the wild magnolia grow And the walls are painted gold Going down those painted roads Leave my soul And let the whole world sing In celebration The hymn of the humble heart Color where you, color where you are In any shade Follow me back to carnival Through that masquerade (Follow me back to carnival In those diamond, in those diamond days (Follow me back to carnival) With the dancers and the legend saints (Follow me back to carnival) Round the corners and alleyways (Follow me back to carnival) Where I'll spend my days Going down those painted roads Down those painted roads Going down those painted roads Going down those painted roads
