Pillar Box Red

I paint my lips pillar box red
 Reminds me of the country
 Where I was born and bred
 Roots lie deeper than bones
 So back in time I go
 Through the tobacco smoke veil
 On the perfumed trail
 Where only childhood knows
 I lift my face to feel the rain
 Every thing's changed
 Though it seems the same
 The shallow hugs, the muted rage
 The weeping skies, the shadowless days
 I love and I hate this place
 I ran away but I couldn't escape
 I paint my lips pillar box red
 Reminds me of the country
 Where I was born and bred
 Roots lie deeper than bones
 So back in time I go
 Through the saloon bar doors
 Onto the chewing gum floors
 Where only childhood knows
 I lift my face to feel the rain
 Every thing's changed though it seems the same
 The sarcasm, the bitter remarks
 That pierce the chest and wound the heart
 The shallow hugs, the muted rage
 The weeping skies, the shadowless days
 I love and I hate this place
 I ran away but I couldn't escape
 I paint my lips pillar box red
 It reminds me of the country
 Where I was born and bred
 I paint my lips pillar box red
 It reminds me of the country
 Where I was born and bred
