RUSH

RUSH - War Paint lyrics

rate me

Girl before the mirror

Appraises her disguise

Child become a mother

Tries to fix her eyes

No more of his excuses

It has to be today

She can keep her fantasy

If she can get away

Paint her name on a one-way street

Painted cheeks with angry heat

Wounded pride on painted eyes

Paint the night with battlecries

All puffed up with vanity

We see what we want to see

To the beautiful and the wise

The mirror always lies

Boy before the mirror

Checks his camouflauge

Polishes his armor

And the charger in the garage

No more lame excuses

It has to be tonight

He can take the princess

If he can take the fight

Pound the drums with martial beat

Pound the streets with marching feet

Wounded pride, distorted eyes

Paint the night with battlecries

All puffed up with vanity

We see what we want to see

To the powerful and the wise

The mirror always lies

Boys and girls together

Mistake conceit for pride

Ambition for illusion

Dreams for self-delusion

Girls and boys together

See what it is we lack

Boys and girls together

Let's paint the mirror black

Paint it black
