Lyrics

Your Painted Smile

Too fast to live Too young to die One stolen kiss babe A certain smile We never close babe We dance all night I'm lost inside babe Your painted smile The name of the place The name of the place You'll never know babe The state I'm in It's a plastic world babe No tiger skin Don't talk to me (don't talk to me) Your perfume sighs I'm lost inside babe Your painted smile Painted, Painted
