The original version, quoting Q107. It was called Paint the town red because I wrote a paint the town blue which was recorded at these sessions but never released on the CD. I was also begining a Paint the town white but never finished it... It's hidden in the vaults. I promise to release some of the rarities on this website soon...
lyrics
PAINT THE TOWN
Marylin’s legs, graffitis in the subway, pink clouds on a wall
Q 107, kids in the sun, automatic brainwash
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
(improvised)
Goin’ downtown now, running down the streets, electric stop sign, stop!
Go on blinded by colors, automatic brainwash
(Bridge)
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
Paint the town, paint the town, paint the town
