War Paint Lyrics - Presto - Rush

Girl before the mirror 

Appraises her disguise 

Child become a mother 

Tries to fix her eyes 

No more of his excuses 

It has to be today 

She can keep her fantasy 

If she can get away 

Paint her name on a one-way street 

Painted cheeks with angry heat 

Wounded pride on painted eyes 

Paint the night with battle cries

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

All puffed up with vanity 

We see what we want to see 

To the beautiful and the wise 

The mirror always lies 

The mirror always lies 

Boy before the mirror 

Checks his camouflage 

Polishes his armor 

And the charger in the garage 

No more lame excuses 

It has to be tonight 

He can take the princess 

If he can take the fight 

Pound the drums with martial beat 

Pound the streets with marching feet 

Wounded pride, distorted eyes 

Paint the night with battle cries

All puffed up with vanity 

We see what we want to see 

To the powerful and the wise 

The mirror always lies 

The mirror always lies 

Boys and girls together 

Mistake conceit for pride 

Ambition for illusion 

Dreams for self-delusion 

Girls and boys together 

See what it is we lack 

Boys and girls together 

Let's paint the mirror black 

Paint it black 

All puffed up with vanity 

We see what we want to see 

To the beautiful and the wise 

The mirror always lies 

The mirror always lies 

The mirror always lies 

Boys and girls together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Girls and boys together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Boys and girls together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Girls and boys together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Boys and girls together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Girls and boys together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Boys and girls together 

Paint the mirror black 

The mirror always lies 

Girls and boys together...
