Color Me Once Lyrics - Violent Femmes

Color me once, color me twice 

Everything gonna turn out nice 

Everlasting arms you gotta 

Keep me from these false alarms 

Alarm, alarm I see you sad 

Maybe I see you 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 like a cold, cold knife 

I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead 

Jack bend over and give Jilly head 

Oh, you gotta help my body heal my soul 

Dead men 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 

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
