Painting a Hole - The Shins

Written by：James Mercer

The tycho don't you know nothing

The doors on the oven

Wide enough to make us all kin

Psychotic boy scout

Let it all gush out

Shopping your brains out now at the bargain bins

So many to germs to avoid

Thinking about it just nurtures them

Baby return to your toys

A little mental hideaway

You're painting a hole

Can you crawl up inside it

You're painting a hole

On everyone in your way

You're painting a hole

To magical violence

You're painting a hole

But it keeps fading away

Morning dove

One thing I'm sure of

Kisses ain't near enough

To reign the vultures in

Every good girl and boy

Prized away from the firmament

Elegant hands unemployed

Or on a permanent holiday

You're painting a hole

Can you crawl up inside it

You're painting a hole

On everyone in your way

You're painting a hole

To magical violence

You're painting a hole

But it keeps fading away

Every popsicle enjoyed

Prized away from the firmament

But baby return to your toys

A little mental hideaway

You're painting a hole

Can you crawl up inside it

You're painting a hole

On everyone in your way

You're painting a hole

To magical violence

You're painting a hole

But it keeps fading away
