Painting a Hole Songtext
von The Shins

Tycho, don′t you know nothin'
The doors on the oven
Are wide enough to make us all kin

A psychotic boy scout
Let it all gush out
Shopping your brains out now in the bargain bins

So many germs to avoid
Thinking about it just nurtures them
Baby, return to your toys, a little mental hide away

You′re painting a hole
Can you crawl up inside it?
You're painting a hole
On everyone in your way
You're painting a hole
To magical violence
You′re painting a hole
You keep fading away


Morning dove
One thing I′m sure of
Kisses ain't near enough
To reign the vultures in

Every good girl and boy
Prized away from the firmament
Elegant hands unemployed
Or on a permanent holiday

You′re painting a hole
Can you crawl up inside it?
You're painting a hole
On everyone in your way
You′re painting a hole
To magical violence
You're painting a hole
You keep fading away

Every Popsicle enjoyed
Prized away from the firmament
Baby, return to your toys, a little mental hide away


You′re painting a hole
Can you crawl up inside it?
You're painting a hole
On everyone in your way
You're painting a hole
To magical violence
You′re painting a hole
You keep fading away
