Codeine Lyrics

I rode in on a river of codeine
Lost myself, found myself, killed myself
And brought myself to life
I was pullin' heavy loads of sweet dreams
Scrape the ground, find the sound, look around
And nothing's that good

But now I'm back and it's lovely
Painted in color

Bells are tolling 'round, call the hour
There's never time, enough to jive, but we're alive
So let's live while we can
And I gave a silver coin to an orphan
He pawned it off, floated off, jacked it off
Now he's a goddess

But now I'm back and it's lovely
Painted in color, alright

I saw myself outside picking flowers
A brief bouquet, a small array, all in a day
A work done in sunlight
And I miss the boys and girls of my homeland
I know they're there, yes I'm aware that they don't care
But I'm an eagleheart

But now I'm back and it's lovely
Painted in color
But now I'm back and it's lovely
Painted in color
