The Good Guys Lyrics - Candles In The Rain/leftover Wine - Melanie

(Melanie Safka) 

I'm tired of seeing the picture 

You're painting of yourself 

You with the borrowed colors 

That you picked from someone else 

Maybe you're a movie 

Or some best selling book 

I know your mirrored mornings 

In rehearsal of your looks 

Oh your cause is oh so beautiful 

You're ready to begin 

You're going to play the good guys 

By singing the good guys hymn 

Ah you're building the halls with the outer walls 

But you haven't got a thing within 

The innocence of children 

Is the manner you suppose 

And you can describe in full detail 

What we already know 

Ah your cause is all so pretty 

And we're ready to begin 

We're going to play the good guys 

By singing the good guys hymn 

Ah we're building the halls with the outer walls 

But we haven't got a thing within 

But if we keep on trying 

Though our purpose isn't clear 

We just may move the universe 

We'll learn to really care 

Eventually the whole facade 

Becomes more than a whim 

By starting to build on the outside 

We're gonna fill up the walls within 

By starting to build on the outside 

We'll fill up the wallls within 

Eventually the whole facade 

Becomes more than a whim 

And by starting to build on the outside 

We're gonna fill up the walls 

We're gonna fill up the walls within
