lyrics

Dropped from the atmosphere
and there's a pillow to ease your fears
blinding is what you are
all of the colors you've seen through the years
you spent them along the way
here comes another umbrella day
a window painted blue
you see my gaze staring back at you

living in picasso's mind
aww, there's a hint of a gray man hid
press yourself to the world
well, you're the paint so color us in

and the dolls that came alive
they march in honor of adeline
she walks in the mirror clips
and spins away in a yellow mist
a table of two for one
streaks of red fills the air she splits
there was something she saw that night
man, nothing's been the same since

living in picasso's mind
lord, there's a hint of a gray man hid
press yourself to the world
aww, you're the paint so color us in
living in einstein's mind
there's a madman approaching the ledge
the power to rule the world
man, you can take it right over the edge

and the white wash walls come crashing down
oh, and all are appalled and losing frown
yeah, they're losing frown
and the light of dawn will soon be here
all the white wash walls come crashing down
pardon the darkness and all the tears
yeah, we spent these years getting all but out
and we're all but out

you took off your under-slip
revealed to me the pink and peach
i'm under the sky alone
the rain is paint falling on the beach
blinding is what you are
but you've been gone for so long i've reached
the end of a masterpiece
it's all been done from memory

living in picasso's mind
lord, there's a hint of a gray man hid
press yourself to the world
aww, you're the paint so color us in
living in einstein's mind
there's a madman approaching the ledge
the power to rule the world
man, you can take it right over the edge
