Violent Femmes Color Me Once Lyrics

Color me once, color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice
Everlasting love, you gotta keep me from these false alarms

Alarm, alarm, I seem so sad
Ring, ring, I see her, I'm glad
Maybe, maybe the fire of her desire

"Patience, patience," said the man
Patience, patience, I can't understand
Patience like a man and a wife
I got patience on my neck a like a cold, cold knife

I said: "Jack, be nimble, Jack, fall dead
Jack, bend over and give Jilly head"
Oh, you gotta help my body, heal my soul

Dead man working, a sinner, a saint
Mixing up a pail of paint
Painted the house black as night
When the sun came up the house was white

We gotta go on
Gotta go on gotta go on
we gotta go on you gotta go on
you gotta go on
go on
go on
try and live life like I couldn't
