《They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece》歌词

[00:00:00] They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece - Streetlight Manifesto

[00:00:16] There is a man with no face

[00:00:18] And a name I don't remember

[00:00:19] Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods

[00:00:22] And he said once "

[00:00:23] Son don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening

[00:00:25] Yes they are listening

[00:00:26] Oh you've got to be strong

[00:00:30] Oh you've got to keep holding on

[00:00:32] It's now just a matter of time"

[00:00:39] (Head for the hills go )

[00:00:56] They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece

[00:00:58] That you will paint on the insides of your eyelids;

[00:01:00] Can you possibly see anything you want to see

[00:01:02] No (Hell No )

[00:01:03] "There's nothing wrong with the way I see"

[00:01:04] And he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war

[00:01:06] He wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for

[00:01:09] And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend

[00:01:12] And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend

[00:01:20] I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing

[00:01:22] "Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end"

[00:01:24] And I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day

[00:01:26] But I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end

[00:01:28] So watch your mouth

[00:01:29] Or you're going to make a grave mistake

[00:01:31] Hold your tongue

[00:01:31] Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head

[00:01:33] So watch your mouth

[00:01:34] Or you're going to make a grave mistake

[00:01:35] Don't die for anything less than the best of life

[00:02:04] The things you said went to your head

[00:02:06] But you never tried to understand:

[00:02:08] What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can

[00:02:11] Because they can from you

[00:02:11] You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why

[00:02:13] And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the

[00:02:15] "I don't know I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way"

[00:02:20] But don't stop because you might get burned

[00:02:21] And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet

[00:02:23] And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything

[00:02:25] That you hear in the street so well

[00:02:29] You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well

[00:02:33] You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well

[00:02:42] And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end

[00:02:45] And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend

[00:02:47] And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering

[00:02:49] "You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end"

[00:03:07] Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed

[00:03:09] I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed

[00:03:11] And I wake with his words resonating in my head

[00:03:13] And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said

[00:03:15] He said:

[00:03:16] So watch your mouth

[00:03:16] Or you're going to make a grave mistake

[00:03:18] Hold your tongue

[00:03:18] Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head

[00:03:20] So watch your mouth

[00:03:21] Or you're going to make a grave mistake

[00:03:22] Don't die for anything less than the best of

[00:03:24] Everyone settles for the rest not the best of

[00:03:25] I will die for no less than the best of life
