lyrics

PRETTY PICTURE
WELL THATS A PRETTY PICTURE UP UPON YOUR WALL
OF A SMALL BOY BEGGING ON THE STEPS OF ST PAUL
PAINT THE PAIN OF POVERTY SELL IT ON AS ART
NOW ITS SOME RICH MAN S PROPERTY WE VE ALL PLAYED OUR PART
AND I DON T KNOW WHY I CONTINUE TO TRY
LOOKING FOR LOVE IN THE FACE OF HATE
EVERYBODY WAS COUGHING IN THE COURT ROOM THAT DAY
CLEARING THEIR THROATS AS IF THEY D SOMETHING TO SAY
MUST VE BEEN THE DUST THAT MADE THAT LIGHT SEEM GREY
PAINT MYSELF IN A CORNER EVERYNIGHT
NOW EVERYTHING FEELS WARMER BUT THE LIGHTS TOO BRIGHT
I KEEP CRISS CROSSING TRACKS WHERE OTHER WHEELS VE ROOLED
AS A MATTER OF FACT ITS FICTION HAS KEPT ME ON THIS WINDING ROAD
AND I DON T LNOW WHY I CONTINUE TO TRY
LOOKING FOR LOVE IN THE FACE OF HATE
