Violent Femmes – Color Me Once Lyrics

Verse:

Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting arms

Alarm, alarm I see you sad
Maybe I see you I’m glad
Maybe maybe the fire of her desire

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
Verse 2:

Mixing up a pail of paint

We gotta go on
You gotta go on
You gotta go on
Go on
Go on
Try and live life like I couldn’t
