about

Part 2 of a trilogy of songs recordedfor the Lonesome Vampires album in 1996. I pulled this one from the album because the first time I sing "Paint the town blue 'cause I can't believe it's true..." on the "can't" the cello is out of tune with my voice and it bugged me too much at the very start of the song like that... Also I couldn't re-record or remix it - no time or budget. I want my albums to be high standard and quality. I want them to compare with the best out there, I have great pride in what I do... #3 Paint The Town White isn't even a fully finished song which I have not yet even demoed..

lyrics

PAINT THE TOWN BLUE

Paint the town blue
'cause I can't believe it's true
Paint the town blue
'Cause the only thing I held on to
Just slips away
Dissolves into the nothingness
of faded memories

Kiss the boys and kiss the girls
Kiss me away to sleep
Kiss the dog and kiss the cat
Kiss the stack of green
Kiss the crucifix
Kiss something new
Kiss without a clue
'cause love is slowly dying

Paint the town blue
'cause I can't believe it's true

Make the puppets funny
Make the girls pretty
Turn on the christmas lights
put on the dixieland jazz
Kiss something blue
Embrace something new
'cause love is slowly dying

Paint the town blue
'cause I can't believe it's true
Paint the town blue
'cause I can't believe it's true
