Painted Face

(album: Rough Diamonds - 1982)

A story bout a street girl named Genius
Give herself a name thought it would bring her fame

Sang poetry and mime on the street corner line
Dancing to a maze of passers by

[chorus]

In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space

If desire could bring you everything you wanted
She woulda had it all a long, long time ago

In her mind she was reflecting the society we live in
That's enough to make a woman's heart go cold

[chorus]

In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
La,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la

[chorus]

In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space

It was a big night and the audience was expected
And a ******* as she took the stage
And as she began to weave her magic
It was spellbound and under up in a ****

[chorus]

In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space

[chorus]
