Codeine

[Verse 1] I rode in on a river of codeine Lost myself, found myself, killed 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 [Chorus] But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color, alright [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color But now I'm back and it's lovely Painted in color
