paint - jenny and maurice lyrics

Loading...

verse 1:

sittin’ on cement on carrall street maurice.
three papers heroin and speed, waitin’ for daddy.
jail was always more forgiving – every sunrise makes it
worth living.
from the ground he looks up to heaven but high rises
gleam.

chorus 1:

“here i am in my disparity. you can have my life if you
can make it.
spare a little bit of your charity?”

verse 2:

jenny in a condo, waterfront, loungin’ on snakeskin.
martini, t3, tramacet… daddy’s gone again.

chorus 2:

“look at me in my prosperity. you can have my life if
you can fake it.
i don’t waste my time on charity. you can have my life
if you can break it…

intro (chorus ad-lib):

…if you make it. if you an take it. if you can fake
it.
come on and take a hit!”

bridge:

jenny crosses town on the rarest day, runs into
maurice.
“lady, could you spare some charity before you call the
police?”
they carry on, neither turns around – hope to never see
the other again.
twenty steps away, they say, “you may be just like
me…”

chorus 3:

“here i am in my disparity. you can have my life if you
can make it.
spare a little bit of your charity? you can have my
life if you can take it.”
“look at me in my prosperity. you can have my life if
you can fake it.
i don’t waste my time on charity. you can have my life
if you can break it…

intro (chorus ad-lib):

…if you make it. if you an take it. if you can fake
it.”
“you wanna take a hit?!?”
“you wanna take a hit?!?”
