Lyrics Violent Femmes

Violent Femmes

Color Me Once

Color me once, color me twice

Everything gonna turn out nice

Everlasting arms you gotta

Keep me from these false alarms

Alarm, alarm I see you sad

Maybe I see you I'm glad

Maybe maybe the fire of her desire

Patience, patience said the man

Patience, patience I can't understand

Patience like a man and a wife I got patience

On my neck like a cold, cold knife

I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead

Jack bend over and give Jilly head

Oh, you gotta help my body heal my soul

Dead men working a sinner a saint

Mixing up a pail of paint

Painted the house, black as night

When the sun came up the house was white

Gotta go on, gotta go on

We gotta go on, you gotta go on

You gotta go on, go on, go on

Try and live life like I couldn't
