Lyrics

The Painter (Reed)
The lines are drawn. Sounds like a simple song.
But you find a way to make it all your own.
Another hill to climb. Three hours past closing time.
But it’s never over till the job gets done.
It’s like a mystery. A world of make believe.

Cause the rules never made much sense to you.
All the things they say you should and shouldn’t do.
So you stay outside the lines with color inside of your mind.
You’ll be the painter that the world will never know.

And all the credit goes to who puts on the greatest show.
In the light they look like masters in disguise.
Just keep your head down low. Do all that you can for those.
With a heart that has been broken many times.
It’s like a mystery. A world of make believe.

Cause the rules never made much sense to you.
All the things they say you should and shouldn’t do.
So you stay outside the lines with color inside of your mind.
You’ll be the painter that the world will never know.
