Painted Eyelids Lyrics - One Foot In The Grave - Beck

I wake up and look 

Upon your painted eyelids 

The world is your oyster 

And the trashbags are your kids 

The ceiling is invisible 

There's a bird sinkin' through the sky 

And every hour that passes 

Is teaching me how to cry 

'Cause it's lonely here 

In the ugly part of town 

The buildings are all vacant 

And the telephones are down

There's a police siren singin' 

Like a tiger with no skin 

The sewer drain is glowing 

And I don't know what state I'm in 

The river is on fire 

There's chemicals and debris 

And all the roads are blocked off 

'Cause it's just too hard to see 

So cancel my appointments 

And set up a whole new show 

'Cause I'm in need of a good hot meal 

And a life to call my own 

Photos 

So give me a plate of money 

Get me a blanket and a chair 

Your limitations are limitless 

They're floating through the air 

Beause it's real and it's true 

The things I see in you 

And there's nothing I wouldn't talk about 

You're the clearest dream that ever drifted by
