Painted Ladies lyrics

Its a grey, grey morning, the rain it do fall

Im feeling hungry and low

My beds so empty, how I wish I could call

On the painted ladies I know

When youve got no credit, dont hold no sway

With the painted ladies I know

Its a ``thank you for nothing, well see you someday

The painted ladies I know



Leave at home what you value enough

And laugh all your senses away

When you want to love everyone, how can you love

The painted ladies all say

Those film stars and beauties will please you tonight

If you go to bed with a book

But they cant hold a candle to something that trembles

If you need to do more than look



They come from rich fathers and twinkle their eyes

And youre begging them please not to go

When youre starved for some loving, they can make you feel special

The painted ladies I know

If youre seeking fortune, if youre seeking fame

And youre looking yourself in the eye

And God help the children, playing their game

The end of the game is goodbye



They pass through your vision like thoughts in a dream

Your good times are slipping away

Its time to move on or go down with the ship

The painted ladies all say
