The Painted Roses - Spitshine Lyrics

There's a hole in the wall where the people look in and you know they laugh at me
Lying naked on the floor with a bottle of gin looking out staring absently
I always thought you only lose the games you play

Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
Over and over again til you see my golden bones

Tried fighting, tried hiding, bought a brand new face bought a brand new style
Went for a walk, in the park where the birds'll chirp and the ladies smile
I always thought they had nothin to say to me

Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
Over and over again til you see my golden bones

Do me down dirty like you used to do when you knew me well
Prick my skin from across the room with a wicked spell
It aint for my health

Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
Picking up a bit of dust, spit shine me clean
I'm alive but only just, spit shine me clean
