Painted Ladies

I remember setting out just to see what I could see

Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high

They all meant nothing to me

No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there

I kept walking and the rain kept raining

Until all the streets were bare

Ooh, I'm feeling fine, mama

Painted ladies and a bottle of wine, mama

Ooh, feeling good, mama

They took my money like I knew they would

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la

City lights were shining on me through my window pane

I kept thinking 'bout the day when I'd be home again

Rocking chairs and summer fairs, and swimming in the sea

I kept drinking, sinking 'til there was nothing left of me

Ooh, I'm feeling fine, mama

Painted ladies and a bottle of wine, mama

Ooh, feeling good, mama

They took my money like I knew they would

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la
