Painted Roads - Spirit Level - RobertC - ScottC - RayC - 04/16/21 01:50 PM
Here is a new song from Spirit Level. This song was born from an Instrumental I did awhile back called Unohoo. Unohoo came from a post in the Manitoba Music History Form. The Guess Who are a band from Manitoba and the two main songwriters in the band were Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings. In the forum they were discussing some shadyness in song writing credits and one of the Guess Who were referred to as Unohoo. Not to offend them as being from Manitoba we all love the Guess Who..
Painted Roads
Lyrics
Painted Roads
it ain`t religion
woke me from repose
time to testify
turn failure to prose
my old world withers
I`ll give it the slip
under arches of branches
where brush strokes are thick
a bundle a bottle walking out of the night
rainbow puddles on lanes of light
lunatic keepers
with lockdown frowns
iced up opinions
`bout what`s coming down
pass me unnoticed
in the emperors new clothes
a mumbler in the mist
rambling his ode
a bundle a bottle walking out of the night
rainbow puddles on lanes of light
tumbledown learn to crawl
shadows show when you stand tall
all my colours corrode
on painted roads
know more than you see
see more than you know
unbroken hearts
still turn to stone
let my leave taking
leave no traceable code
paint your own way home
frame it as you go
a bundle a bottle walking out of the night
rainbow puddles on lanes of light
tumbledown learn to crawl
shadows show when you stand tall
all my colours corrode
on painted roads
