From the recording Where All the Colors Come From
Lyrics
Painted Pink Lips
Lyrics by: Emily Joffee
All the dreams
And love thrown on the floor
I usually ignore
But today today today
I’ll choose to be better
So I fold up these dreams and free them
From my water colored floors
And I pick up pastel loves and place them
Into crayola coded drawers
And I hang up these hopes
To hold behind my crooked closet doors
I typically leave them piled high behind my eyes
But I’m not waiting more
So won’t you come over
I think I might be ready
I peeled them off my sticky floors
I'm not looking for something heavy
So I’ll put on a song
And dance a waltz or two for you
And I’ll spin myself into my prettiest me (ta-da)
And I’ll tell you a story or three
You think you know me, boy
You don’t know a thing you don’t know a thing
But I'd like to tell you somethings’
And I’d like to give you something sweet
So won’t you come over
I think I might be ready
I peeled them off my sticky floor
I'm not looking for something heavy
So why don’t you just put your
Hands upon my painted blue hips
And then maybe just put your
Two lips upon my painted pink lips
Two lips upon
Two lips upon
My my my my my my my my my my
My my my my my my my my my
Painted pink lips
