[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

But now I'm back and it's lovely

Painted in color

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

But now I'm back and it's lovely

Painted in color, alright

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

But now I'm back and it's lovely

Painted in color

But now I'm back and it's lovely

Painted in color
