Paint me pretty, paint me blind
I am a figure who longs to be romanticised
Left unfinished, dressed in white
Beauty is what thrills the eye and the mind
Paint a scene a garden where my soul lies
In a stream of gold that doesn't run dry
Come with virtue, come with vice
Come for truth only and you'll come to the light
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
Keep your heart on the left And your head on right
Give me freedom, hand it light
Not a deal some politician can define
As he types it on a page designed
To smear the words and blur the lines
Give me freedom, oh and not a stone riot
Hand me no ticket to carry on this joy ride
Existential is my state of mind
Cautious and occupied
Have I got any cause in which I can rely?
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
Give me freedom, what's the price?
For a taste of this man-made paradise
Give my heart, I'll stray from the line
Won't ask for anymore from this life
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
When all's been said keep the truth in sight
Keep your heart on the left and your head on right
