i want you to paint me pick up your easel and your brush im not well versed in art but i know this much youll paint me holding something maybe a rose or a rosary youll bring out the death in my face or show me younger than you know me to be chorus i want to know how i look through your eyes youre not a mirror so there are things that i can hide they say dont trust lovers who kiss kiss kiss with eyes open wide their words and the truth do everything but collide i once heard of the leopard girl marked by the leopard in her mothers womb when she was younger they kept her locked in the storage room but when she came of age and went out in the world some people saw a leopard others saw a beautiful girl chorus they say dont trust lovers who fail to recognize you from a distance they should know you better than to need visual assistance i want to unburden myself to you loosen up my tongue then look at you like a dog to his master waiting for the branch to be flung cause youve got thermostat hands that run up and down my spine you give me a radiator fever when you draw the blinds chorus they say dont trust lovers infatuated with your divineness being in love is just one step removed from bli bli bli blindness
