Lyrics Yellow Paint - Madd

The man is painting the window dark, dark red, almost black
He stepped away to get a good look at his work
But he saw me through so off to painting he went back

I am on the telephone with 1-800-GOT-A-CASE-OF-THE-BLUES
They hung up on me when I said, "Aren't you?"
And someone was complaining about the news

I couldn't believe my tired eyes when I saw in the paper
Right next to the used cars for sale, it said the working man has died

Turns out all of his house inside was painted that dark
Dark red from pillows toinside the washing machine
People asking all around what's the cause of his death

My dear dear mother just lost a high school friend
Autopsy said he ate yellow paint with a note saying 'this made me happy instead'

Many people thought of him as a mad man consuming toxins like champagne
But I have noticed he's smart enough to know the consequence

He had found a greater risk and took the small chances he had because he knew
There were chances for everything, even a chance of happiness
