"Facepaint" lyrics

"Facepaint"

Feathers and facepaint is all that she wears
All cross her eyelids and tied to her hair
First one to know it the first one to care
First one to know that we're coming together here

Sun and the moon and the stars all she knows
Front row at parties and wasted at shows
Girl shot her hung over eyes to your soul
Braided your heartstrings you'll never let her go

Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet
Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet

She got so high that she'll never get down
Never get down never get down
She got so high that she'll never get down
Never get down never get down

Feathers and facepaint is all that she wears
All cross her eyelids and tied to her hair
First one to know it the first one to care
First one to know that we're coming together here

She got so high that she'll never come get down
Never get down never get down
She got so high that she'll never get down
Never get down never get down

I want to be a part of what's unsaid
Have me while I'm here she said
Different animals same cage
Have me while I'm here she said

Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet
Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet

She got so high that she'll never get down
Never get down never get down
She got so high that she'll never get down
Never get down never get down

Feathers and facepaint is all that she wears
All cross her eyelids and tied to her hair
First one to know it the first one to care
First one to know that we're coming together here

Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet
Up on the mountain down on the street
Watch as the animals gather at her feet
