X - Painting the Town Blue Lyrics

Bartender's eyes are full of pity
As he tells her, "You're alone and it's 2:30
All the chairs are on the table and it's time to close"
She said, "A minute ago they were starin' at me
Where the hell did they go?"

Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue

"You look funny when you cry", were his last words
Before he laughed and said goodbye, she flipped a finger
And so she picked her shoes up, picked up her feet
And let 'em walk hand in hand down the dirty hallway

Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue

Was she beat, did she suffer from a working hand
She always hated his hacking cough early in the morning
She walked to the Greyhound to take a little ride
He could look in the corner of every town but he won't find her

'Cause she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
