World Painted Lyrics - Screaming Trees

Yeah I can see for miles and the time is empty 

I bounce on a wire just try and stop me 

A million things I could think of today 

Cause my mind is racing, I wanna stay 

And get lost in your eyes 

But can you swim when you cry, hey 

I'm walking down a spiral staircase 

Never gonna ever be able to place 

The kind of things I see and hear 

A room that's washed in burnin' tears 

Well I walk that on by 

I can't rest well when you cry, hey 

Today my world has been painted light 

Where's the snow that's painted white 

A million things I could think of today 

Cause my mind is racing and I just wanna stay 

And get lost in your eyes 

Slap me don't even try 

Tomorrow's gonna pass on by 

But can you swim when you cry
