Painters - Joe Hisaishi

I'm broken down You caved my karma in I'm staying up Waiting for you like a fool You made me forget About all the dreams I kept I keep your glass here (hand?) By the bed we slept I can't erase your smokey eyes Your smothered face Gripping on my waist Leaving a ghost Upon the Oregon Coast And on the floors Of a crashes porch (?) Who can pretend That there's a beginning without an end? It ain't contrived All this magic in our lives Comes down like a storm Then drizzles then dies Your soul is free But you're the one I need And you made your deal But you're still my ideal And so I wait And so I choose this fate And store your shape In my electric bed Who can pretend That there's a beginning without an end? It ain't contrived All the magic in our lives Comes down like a storm Then drizzles then dies

You're an American girl Red headed, eyes blank Living in a freckle on the face of the world Another dying kid that learned too much too soon You're not as good as your mom But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Which of your shots have sold? Twenty-nine with your child Who doesn't give and eats what's left Of your young soul Another dying spark that burned too fast too soon You're not as bad as your dad But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too? Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too? You're an American girl Out of line in our time A cry for the leading role Your bum childhood stole A mother tired and stuck In her love-worn bed You're not as good as your mom But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too? Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too? Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too? Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there too?
