Lyrics

IF THE WALLS START TO CRACK, COLOURS ARE FADED, THE BOARDS ARE ALL SPLIT, THERE’S RUST ON THE NAILS.

TAKE MY BRUSH, PAINT IT YELLOW,
TAKE MY BRUSH, PAINT IT YELLOW.

WHEN MY FENCES ARE BAD,
DRIVE A SPIKE THROUGH THE PALINGS.
WHEN MY STUMPS WILL NOT HOLD,
MY WINDOWS ARE BREAKING.

TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW,
TAKE MY BRUSH AND PAINT IT YELLOW.

WHEN MY HOUSE IS SO TIRED,
I CANNOT REPAIR,
WHEN MY EVERYTHING’S GONE,
MY CUPBOARDS ARE BARE.

TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW,
TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW
YELLOW, PAINT IT YELLOW, YELLOW, PAINT IT YELLOW.

IF MY DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE
AND THE WIND FELLS THE PAINTINGS,
IF MY PATHS ARE ALL CRACKED,
AND I TRIP AND I FALL.

TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW,
TAKE MY BRUSH AND PAINT IT YELLOW.

WHEN MY CLOTHES ARE ALL WORN,
AND THE HOLES BARE MY SKIN
WHEN I CALL OUT FOR YOU,
IT'S BECAUSE I GAVE IN.

TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW, TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW
PAINT IT YELLOW, PAINT IT YELLOW, TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW
PAINT IT YELLOW, PAINT IT YELLOW, TAKE MY BRUSH PAINT IT YELLOW
YELLOW, YELLOW, YELLOW, YELLOW.
