I rode in on a river of codeine Lost myself, found myself, k**ed myself And brought myself to life I was pullin' heavy loads of sweet dreams Scrape the ground, find the sound, look around And nothing's that good But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color Bells are tolling 'round, call the hour There's never time, enough to jive, but we're alive So let's live while we can And I gave a silver coin to an orphan He pawned it off, floated off, jacked it off Now he's a goddess But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color, alright I saw myself outside picking flowers A brief bouquet, a small array, all in a day A work done in sunlight And I miss the boys and girls of my homeland I know they're there, yes I'm aware that they don't care But I'm an eagleheart But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color
