Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the french album sol en si There's a chance we may lose it all All those hollow souls Can't hope to hold that wall What I breathe used to be my life How come a good thing dies And the evil still survive Oh I've got to paint it red Wake up and colour all the pieces Don't sleep without your faces, and Oh I've got to paint it red Put your eyes back in your head And oh paint it red Where's the dance they may never dance All those open hands Can't hope to have a chance What I see used to be a smile How come your lips are sealed And your spirit never flies Cash on delivery That's all they ever said Grey tones can't be trusted I say paint it red
