Body Paint

Lyrics

For a master of deception and subterfuge
 You've made yourself quite the bed to lie in
 Do your time travelin' through the tannin' booth
 So you don't let the sun catch you cryin'
 So predictable, I know what you're thinkin'
 ♪
 My teeth are beatin' and my knees are weak
 It's as if there's somethin' up with the wirin'
 You can poke your head behind the mountain peak
 Don't have to mean that you've gone into hidin'
 So predictable, I know what you're thinkin'
 ♪
 I'm watching your every move
 I feel the tears are comin' on
 It won't be long, it won't be long
 Straight from the cover shoot
 Still a trace of body paint
 On your legs and on your arms and on your face
 And I'm keepin' on my costume (keeping on)
 I'm callin' it a writin' tool
 And if you're thinkin' of me, I'm probably thinkin' of you
 ♪
 There's still a trace of body paint
 On your legs and on your arms and on your face
 There's still a trace of body paint
 On your legs and on your arms and on your face
 There's still a trace of body paint
 On your legs and on your arms and on your face
 There's still a trace of body paint
 On your legs and on your arms and on your face
 ♪
 So predictable, I know what you're thinkin'
